Summary
Charles Bain just earned an honorary degree from the University of Aberdeen — but it was no ordinary ceremony. On the same day, he and his wife Carol celebrated their golden wedding anniversary, while also cheering on PhD student Olivia Soper, whom they’d funded, as she graduated in Neuroscience. Driven by the tragic loss of both their fathers to dementia, Charles and Carol have pioneered unforgettable fundraising events — from “Different Dancing Memories” to “Different Singing Memories” — raising millions to fund research and scholarships. Their efforts directly enabled Olivia’s PhD, and Charles remains deeply committed to accelerating dementia research, launching biennial events to fund critical equipment and collaborating across institutions to find solutions.
