Teddy's Mom helps Vikings support women's initiatives
MINNEAPOLIS — Rose Murphy, the mother of quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, is one of the Vikings most exuberant and vocal fans.Clad in a custom pink and white jersey, the breast cancer survivor shared her support for others Sunday.
Mrs. Murphy joined volunteers and leaders from Zeta Tau Alpha before Minnesota hosted Kansas City to distribute 25,000 pink ribbons as fans entered the game.
In addition to telling fans about the importance of early detection through annual screenings — a primary message of the NFL’s A Crucial Catch initiative — Murphy listened with ears adorned by pink ribbon earrings and gave heartfelt hugs and words of encouragement to those who have been impacted by the disease.
