For over twenty years, Rhonda Murphy<\/a> has encouraged locals in Fresno, CA to stay fit and healthy through her Workout Wednesdays featured on ABC30. She also replicates this program on her gym\u2019s Facebook page,<\/a> transforming them into livestreams. Typically, these short clips are informative messages about eating healthy and staying active, with tips and demonstrations along the way. Rhonda\u2019s most recent Workout Wednesday, however, focused on a different message this week.<\/span><\/p>\n

During a recent, routine mammogram, Rhonda learned that she has Stage 1, Grade 3 breast cancer. \u201cIt\u2019s Stage 1. Because I did my routine mammograms, they caught it,\u201d she explained in her Facebook Live video.<\/a> Rhonda shared this personal moment of her life with her followers to get an essential message across. \u201cI want you to promise me, every one of you, promise me that you\u2019re going to get a check up,\u201d she implored.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Being a health-conscious trainer who had no symptoms, not even a lump, Rhonda was blindsided by the results and wants to make sure everyone knows the importance of maintaining those routine exams. \u201cIf I can have one of you, just one of you, catch it \u2014 it\u2019s going to make my life worth it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Rhonda is now scheduled to undergo six treatments of chemotherapy, followed by surgery and radiation. \u201cI\u2019m a health expert but again, this thing, cancer, it does not discriminate,\u201d she explained to ABC30.<\/a> \u201cIt\u2019s an equal opportunity crusher.\u201d Rhonda\u2019s many friends, supporters, and followers have created a GoFundMe page<\/a> to help her with medical expenses.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Through tears she said,<\/a> \u201cIt is unbelievable. I got to tell you, I didn\u2019t know I had that many friends. It\u2019s amazing and I\u2019m so thankful. I got some incredible people in my corner.\u201d Rhonda is ready to take this challenge head on, and will be continuing her livestreams for as long as she feels well enough to do so. If you\u2019d like to learn more about Rhonda\u2019s journey, or if you\u2019re interested in participating in a Workout Wednesday or Fitness Friday, be sure to check out her Facebook page.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n
