My Nonprofit Reviews

My name is Rhonda Murphy, and I live in Nashville, TN. I have Huntington's disease and I have already lost two of my four older brothers to this disease. My two sons Nick and Kevin, have a 50/50 chance of getting this disease which is a fatal disease that will have some time to take me down. I've lost my license and cannot
drive due to the loss of the ability handle a car, remember your sense of
accomplishment when you got your driver’s license well, that is just one of
the things this disease has taken from me. My son Kevin moved home from
college to help me at home. My husband Jeff, works at the State of Tn. in
the TDOT, IT dept. The insurance he has is a very vital to our support. I
have already been approved for my disability. Professionally, I was for
over 25 years, one of the first Female, computer programmers in an
environment where this is a male dominated environment . I love to read and attend the monthly support meeting at the Nashville HDSA, that is facilitated by my niece Melissa Hall Darnell.
My youngest brother lives in Austin, Tx, and he has this disease as well. This picture is of me at the HOPE Walk 2011,
I have attended and supported since my DNA results were read in 2010. Now I am an advocate for my fight for this disease and wonderful families who are also fighting the big fight. Keep moving.
Love from, Rhonda
