Salesforce Advocate Brooke Eby Dies at 37 After ALS Battle

Brooke Eby, a prominent ALS advocate and social media creator, has passed away at age 37. She was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in 2022 at age 33.

Eby became widely known for documenting the progression of the disease on social media, using humor and personal storytelling to raise awareness about ALS and the challenges faced by patients and their families.

Despite her diagnosis, Eby continued working at Salesforce, where she had been employed since 2016. The company supported her as her condition progressed, allowing her to continue her career while adapting her work arrangements to accommodate her increasing physical limitations.

Eby's experience at Salesforce became an example of how an employer can accommodate an employee facing a devastating illness rather than forcing that person to immediately leave the workforce.
