Soccer Tournament Fundraiser

This Saturday (July 3rd) the Murphy Memorial Match will be held at the Lyons Playground at Louisiana and Tchoupitoulas from 3-7 p.m. to raise money for Nicole Murphy’s family. Nicole Murphy was a third year medical student who was killed by a suspected drunk driver while in South Africa at the World Cup. Her brother suffered a head injury in the same accident and money is being raised for an ICU plane to bring him home. Daniel Murphy, Nicole’s father, is a graduate of the School of Medicine in Shreveport. The Times-Picayune has the full story.
