Millburn/Short Hills Resident Forms the Turpin Foundation

The township of Millburn/Short Hills is the home to many extraordinary people. Potential new homeowners, aware of this fact, are eager to invest in real estate in the township of Millburn/Short Hills, and for their neighbors to be people who are actively changing the world. Property in the township of Millburn/Short Hills continues to attract hard working and dedicated potential new homeowners. A current resident of the township of Millburn/Short Hills, who has donated her life and livelihood to improving people’s lives, is a young widow dedicating her time aiding the battle against a silent killer.
Jo Turpin, the widow of the recently deceased Graham Turpin, has launched a website to inform people about pancreatic cancer. Graham Turpin was unexpectedly diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and passed away just weeks later, leaving behind his wife and son. 18 months after her horrible loss, Jo Turpin has begun the Turpin Foundation. The Turpin Foundation’s purpose is to raise funds for pancreatic cancer research as well as supporting the discovery of early detection methods. The funds raised from the foundation will go to Johns Hopkins Pancreatic Research Center. The Turpin Foundation held its very first fundraising event, the first annual Graham Turpin Memorial Charity Motorcycle Rally, on October 4, 2009. As a place for people to get clear and palatable information, Jo Turpin created the website: www.turpinfoundation.org. Jo Turpin’s full time job is now running the foundation, and it is a job that lacks a salary. Jo Turpin feels that it is too important to put off, and is absorbing all the overhead of the organization.
People like Jo Turpin are strong, motivated, unique and talented people. Jo’s dedication to her husband’s memory and helping other families is both admirable and brave. It is no surprise that potential new homeowners would want to invest in property in an area with residents such as Jo Turpin.
