On Christmas Eve she hopes to reach the summit of Mt Kilimanjaro where, as well as unwrapping presents, she will also celebrate her 27th birthday.
Brooke has had a tumultuous two years. She received a kidney from her father in February 2010 only to almost lose it after suffering a blood infection seven months later.
Adrenalin had to be pumped into her heart to keep her alive.
She said the past two years had been a trying time that had taught her the importance of living life to the fullest.
"Had my dad not donated his kidney I would be on dialysis and ... while I'd survive, I wouldn't really live. I still get emotional when I think of what Dad did," she said.
