In memory of Graeme Paine OAM

By Ben Paine

I've created this page in memory of a loved one

After losing my father Graeme last year to Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP), I've decided to do a Steps Challenge throughout August to raise funds in his memory. 

PSP is a rare neurodegenerative disorder impacting approximately 1,300 Australians. In recognition of this figure I am committed to walking 13,000 steps per day, and hope to raise at least $1,300. I'm raising funds for PSP Australia - a specialised branch of a nonprofit called Fight Parkinson's (PSP is a form or Atypical Parkinson's disease). 

Broadly, Fight Parkinson’s is a leading source of specialised health information, advice, and services for those in the Parkinson's community. Through research, education, and support, they strive to improve the lives of people living with Parkinson’s or Atypical Parkinson’s (PSP, MSA and CBS).

The more people that know about PSP Australia and Fight Parkinson's, the greater their impact, so please also spread the word by sharing my page with your friends and family.

Thank you in advance for your generosity, it means a lot! Donations are tax deductible.

If I can reach my donation target of $1,300 by Sunday, I'll walk from my house in Lauderdale to the top of Mount Wellington!

My Steps Challenge

Tuesday 9th Aug
Hiya everyone! In August I want to walk a heap of steps and hopefully raise a heap of money for PSP Australia, an organisation that provides information and support to those affected by Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) - the illness my Dad suffered with until it claimed his life last year. I'm planning to walk an average of 13,000 steps per day to acknowledge the 1,300 Australians living with PSP, and I'd like to raise at least $1,300. I'd love your support 💰

Thank you to my Sponsors

Thank you for doing this amazing thing to raise awareness of this insidious disease PSP that I too lost my dear dad Jim to. Having performed in the Uni Revue PHONEY BUGGERS with your dad in 1984 he was a character never to be forgotten. I was his partner in the spoof of Swan Lake but he got to wear the tutu of course. He brought smiles to all. X
