Brooke didn鈥檛 let ALS define her. She defined her own story with humor, courage, authenticity, and joy that nothing could take away.
She made people laugh in the hardest moments. She made people feel less alone. She educated the world about ALS and showed everyone around her how to keep living fully, even in the face of something devastating.
We鈥檙e honored to have known her, and to have worked alongside her. Her community lives on through ALStogether, which Brooke helped build and lead.

If you're struggling with ALS or any other disease, I think Brooke's approach is one that you ought to consider.

And if not, we'll at least be able to make a joke about it. K. Love you.
