Did anyone follow this absolute powerhouse of a woman?

I feel genuinely so sad today. She did so much to raise awareness of ALS/MND and has the most wicked dark sense of humour. Such a shame she had to suffer so much. Bloody awful disease 😞

Yes, Brooke was truly one of a kind and she leaves such an amazing legacy.
I wonder who she’s haunting first!

I followed her for a few years. She was a brilliant woman who showed the reality of ALS/MND.
My favourite post of hers was when Eric Dane from Greys anatomy was sadly diagnosed she said “… if I’ve taught you one thing it’s that hot people get ALS too”

I didn’t know her at all but I’m very sad at her passing. I looked at her insta bio this evening and tomorrow was her local Walk for ALS event. Lots of donations by her name too.

Yes she was fabulous so sharp and witty but also did so much for the ALS community.

I did and was gutted to see she had passed. Her family seemed lovely too. She will be missed

I followed her too and I’m so sad tonight. She was an incredible woman and so inspirational. And her humour…😘

I've just watched loads of her old videos, before she was suffering quite so much. I'm at least glad she had such loving support and access to resources, can't even imagine how hard such a disease is without help.

Yes, she was an absolutely exceptional woman and leaves an amazing legacy. Her wicked sense of humour was with her right to her final posts. I’m so very sorry that she lost her life so young and for the family and friends she leaves behind. She seemed to have a very close and loving family who shared her sense of fun and humour and are also great advocates. There really are no adequate words but I just wish them all the very best. They must be so proud of her but it’s an utterly devastating loss.
