Rev. Dr. Peter Charles Graves

 

The illness that finally took Peter was, for him, particularly cruel. He loved his preaching & teaching and did everything with great enthusiasm. Those who have seen and heard him preach will know that he didn’t really need a microphone and he had a laugh that could be heard across many a crowded room. There were times when he got so animated in the pulpit we feared he would fall out!

He was finally diagnosed with Corticobasal Syndrome linked to Alzheimers so he not only lost the ability to preach which went first but gradually his mobility and finally his voice went to a barely audible whisper.

 

Corticobasal Syndrome (also known as Corticobasal Degeneration – CBD) is a rare dementia and little is known about it. When Peter was first diagnosed, he agreed to take part in research knowing it wouldn’t help him but could help future generations.

 

PSPA is the only UK charity dedicated to creating a better future for everyone affected by PSP and CBD
