In Memory of Doreen Turpin
September 13, 1943 - November 7, 2020
To spread Awareness & Support for PSP (Progressive Supranuclear Palsy), CBD (CorticoBasal Degeneration), MSA (Multiple System Atrophy), ALS (Amyotropic Lateral Sclerosis) and Parkinson’s, donations are being directed to
The Rossy PSP Centre.
Funds raised will support The Rossy Progressive Supranuclear Palsy Centre at the Krembil Brain Institute, University of Health Network.
Under the directions of Dr. Anthony Lang and a team of world leading researchers in movement disorders. The Rossy PSP Centre is dedicated to research and care.
Mom was diagnosis with PSP in 2018. There were signs 3 years prior. As time went on, she was then diagnosis with PSP combined with CBD.
PSP is a progressive brain disease with no known cause or cure. It affects brain cells that control balance, walking, coordination, eye movement, speech, swallowing, and thinking. Five to six people in 100,000 have PSP.
CBD is a progressive brain disease with no known cause or cure. It affects areas of the brain controlling limb movement, speech, and other movement functions.
From the day our PSP/CBD Warrior was diagnosed, as a true warrior she was a fighter and her spirit was endless. She would insist on doing for herself and continue to do for others regardless of her limitations. As the disease progressed unfortunately PSP/CBD took control over her body.
With no treatment or cure, my brave Mom was freed of this horrible Rare Neurological Brain Disease. She gained her Angel Wings on November 7, 2020 at home surrounded by her family. She fought right to end. She is now healed, no longer suffering and at peace now.
With support of donors like you, The Rossy Centre is establishing a major research center which will contribute to a global effort directed at better understanding these complex neurodegenerative diseases and eventual developing effective disease modifying effective therapies.
In memory of Doreen Turpin, Dedicated and Loving Wife, Mother, Grandmother and Great Grandmother.
We love you forever!!
