Welcome to the Brooke's Light Podcast - We are super excited to start off what we feel will be the beginning of something wonderful through the power of vulnerability and transparency. In 2018, my daughter - Brooke Pearson - was diagnosed with an extremely aggressive and rare form of cancer. During this journey of ups and downs we learned so much and it through it all Brooke's memory has shown us the Light. Her legacy has taught us that through the power of connecting with others, being vulnerable and courageous we can help others - even though they may not even know they need us. We understand - You are not alone!! This podcast is just the beginning of the Brooke's Light Foundation
