My Story Begins Here
My name is Haley Murray. I am 31 years old and live in California. I am a high school science teacher for an online independent study program, and I was diagnosed with Myhre syndrome as an adult at 29 years old, just two years ago. Like many adults with rare diseases, I spent decades searching for answers without realizing they were all connected. Looking back now, I can finally see how all the pieces of my life fit together.
The Myhre Syndrome Foundation has joined more than 160 rare disease advocacy organizations in supporting a petition for rulemaking submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration by the Haystack Project.
