Brooke Eby dies at 37 after documenting ALS journey

American influencer Brooke Eby has died at the age of 37 following a battle with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Known online by her handle ‘Limpbroozkit’, Eby gained a massive following on platforms such as Instagram and TikTok by documenting her life with the neurodegenerative disease with humor and transparency.

Eby was diagnosed with ALS in March 2022, four years after first experiencing symptoms. Throughout her illness, she used her social media presence to educate millions of people, challenge stigmas, and build communities like ‘ALStogether’ to support others facing similar diagnoses. The ALS Network released a statement describing her as an ‘extraordinary advocate, storyteller, community builder, and friend’ whose openness helped improve public understanding of the disease.

In the months leading up to her death, Eby’s condition progressed significantly, requiring the use of a wheelchair and a ventilator. Her digital legacy continues through the communities she established and the millions of people she reached through her unfiltered content.
