Turning Special Needs into Special Abilities with Brady Murray, Founder of RODS Heroes
Grab a tissue! This week, Mal + Kate chat with RODS Heroes Founder, Brady Murray, in an inspiring and emotional episode about adopting children with Down Syndrome and other unique circumstances.
On July 7th, 2007, Brady Murray’s life changed forever. Shortly after he and his wife, Andrea, welcomed their newborn son into this world, the doctor informed Brady that his son has Down syndrome. Shock and fear overcome him as he tried to grasp what this meant to his young family.
Fast forward to today and Brady wouldn’t trade this life as a father raising a son with Down syndrome for anything. In fact, The Murray’s have loved this special journey so much so, that they adopted their son Cooper, in 2016 from Tianjin, China. Cooper also has Down syndrome.
Brady is committed to the cause of turning special needs into Special Abilities. His mission in life is to give a voice and path to everyone within the Special Abilities community and empowering each individual to sing the song they are meant to sing.
As part of this special journey, Brady and Andrea founded RODS Heroes, a non-profit dedicated to inspiring families to answer the call to adopt a child with Down syndrome or other unique circumstances. Since its inception, RODS Heroes has inspired thousands of families to consider opening their hearts to the miracle of adoption.
Brady and Andrea Murray are the proud parents of eleven children. Seven of their children joined their family through adoption.
