Ra Ra Rasputin 99 Posted December 31, 2023 11 hours ago, Zsa Zsa's leg said: Some names I thought about including for 2024 but weren't seriously ill/old enough to make the top 50. I wonder how many will make it to 2025: Jane Goodall, 91 Jane Goodall is doing a tour of Australia in May/June, so is presumably well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DoltonMoney 306 Posted December 31, 2023 Almost definitely a long shot in terms of notability, but Sid Krofft of H. R. Pufnstuf fame would be turning 96 in 2025 if he makes it that long. His brother Marty died a month or so ago and got a Yahoo UK obit, so perhaps he would as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Predictor 1,018 Posted January 1 Two Australians to consider... Steve Mortimer, OAM, halfback rugby player, born in 1956. He played for Canterbury-Bankstown. In 2008, he was named one of the 100 best Australian rugby league players of all time. He was diagnosed with dementia in 2021, and his brother Pete is quoted to have said that health problems have accelerated his dementia. Namely, heart attack, pneumonia & bronchitis in the past 3 years. Michael Milton, OAM, the most successful Australian Winter Paralympics athlete ever with 11 medals to his name, starting in 1992 in Albertville. He was born in 1973. He has only one leg and was the Lareus World Sports Awards winner in the disability category in 2003. That year, he broke the record from 1987 of the fastest disabled skier. He also broke a national cycling record in 2007. He represented Australia in the Summer Olympics in Beijing in that sport. In 2013, he broke the world record for the fastest marathon runner in crutches, in 5 hours and 23 minutes. In 2018, another world record but for the distance 5 km in 32 minutes. Health-wise, he got bone cancer when he was 9, which left him with only one leg. In 2007, he got oesophageal cancer. In October 2023, he got cancer for a third time, this time bowel cancer. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
