Brooke Landau
- Producer
You would never know it but behind Brooke Landau's striking camera
presence is one of the most extraordinary and unprecedented survival
stories in medical literature. Having survived congenital heart disease
and open-heart surgery as a child, Brooke learned how to persevere from
an early age. But her greatest challenge came in 1995 during a 13-year
battle with one of the worst documented cases of Lyme Disease in the
country. Her unbelievable triumph has been featured on the Today Show,
Good Morning America, Discovery Channel, Extra, Fox 11 News, and news
stations nationwide. Spotted in a store by a New York fashion designer,
Brooke was offered a modeling contract and soon became a familiar
figure at couture fashion shows walking the runway for world renown
designers: Ralph Lauren, Nicole Miller, Gucci, Valentino and more.
Brooke's broadcasting career began with the 1997 Bob Marley Festival.
She then became evening Anchor for a CBS affiliate in AZ and Feature
Reporter for ESPN. She is now the Traffic Anchor for ABC/KGTV in San
Diego, CA. Brooke is also Founder and President of the Children's
Alliance Network, Inc. a non-profit she began from her bed while
bedridden with Lyme. She is also a national spokesperson for Lyme
Disease and the American Heart Assoc.
