Meg Murphy is a Hall of Famer winning championship titles in more or less every sport that she was a part of be it as a player or a coach.  But if there ever is a Hall of Fame for folks who take care of others, Murphy would be a charter member, you can bet on it.  This weekend is the 18th Annual "Connect for the Cancer Cure" event that Murphy has spearheaded and big things are planned this year as the event looks to add to the hundreds of thousands of dollars that it has raised for cancer research and care right here in Butte.  Nearly a quarter of a million dollars so far which has gone towards incredible things.
