On Sunday, September 7, the 18-year-old from Duns will enter the famous Bird's Nest stadium in Beijing with the Great Britain squad during the opening ceremony of the 2008 Paralympic Games, before going on to compete for his country at the event itself the following day.
Graeme leaves for Macou on Saturday (August 23), and then heads to Beijng at the beginning of September, returning home to London on September 19. And, for the duration of the Games, Graeme will be joined by his mum Mandy, dad Allan and brother Duncan.
Graeme himself admitted that he couldn't believe he'll be jetting out to China to take part in a competition which will be seen by millions of viewers worldwide.
"I'm really excited," he said. "When I got the phone call to say I'd been selected I was over the moon, I just wanted to run and tell everyone. And getting the official letter the next day was the icing on the cake.
"I am really looking forward to being part of the biggest sporting event in the world, something that until earlier this year I would never have dreamed I would ever be part of. It will be great to gain experience from another culture."
Graeme and the rest of the Team GB hopefuls were given one last chance to impress selectors when they travelled to Ukraine in May to take part in a tournament over there. Great Britain won two games, the most notable being a 5-0 thrashing of China, but were convincingly beaten by Holland (0-3) and the host nation (0-5). Graeme played all three games in centre midfield and felt he did the best that he could.
After returning from Ukraine it was a case of playing the waiting game and Graeme said with every player showing great potential, selectors were left with a tough decision.
"Everyone was really really talented and it could have been any one of us that missed out. It was great that four Scottish lads got in as we've known each other for a while now and played in the World Cup in Brazil.
"When we first got invited to train with Great Britain we were a bit worried that with the coaches being English they would favour the English players, but it was really fair. Everyone was judged on ability rather than where they were from."
Since being selected, however, Graeme has discovered that the GB team have been drawn in the same group as the Ukraine, a factor that hasn't fazed him at all.
He said: "I am looking forward to playing all the teams as all will be going for gold. Our biggest challenge will be our first match against Ukraine on Monday, September 8, as they are seeded number one in the world.
Graeme added: "I am grateful to all my family and friends for their continued support in many different ways.
"I train with Scotland cerebral palsy squad at Stirling, and the Rangers pan-disability squad at Murray Park, Glasgow, and all these coaches have given me great encouragement.
"Locally, Bruce Millar and Simon Willet, of the Putton Mill Fitness Centre, Duns, have been of great assistance with my training sessions at the gym, and the coaching staff and players at Duns Amateur Football Club are of great support to me at their training on Tuesday and Thursday nights."
As well as the family and support he has back at home, Graeme has also been busy building up a contacts list elsewhere over the last two years.
"I have really enjoyed making new friends too," he told us
"The other three Scottish boys that have been selected for Team GB and I have got to know each other really well, as we meet up and travel down to Birmingham for the training weekends.
"It's nice, too, that when we are at the training weekends we are usually selected to share a room with a different England player, which has helped us get to know them better too.
"Obviously a lot of them are in their mid to late 20s, and have played together for a long time, so it's a great way to get to know them all. It's not the English and the Scottish boys for this competition, as it was in Brazil last year – this year we are one squad, Great Britain."
After finding out he'd made the squad for Beijing, Graeme was back on Scottish duty for the recent Home Nations tournament in Belfast, where they beat England 5-0 and the Republic of Ireland 5-0. And away from international commitments, Graeme is also a key member of Glasgow Rangers disability team as well as helping Borders disability development officer Jed Renilson coach young players in the region. And after travelling to Copenhagen, Brazil, Ukraine and Ireland in his short footballing career, Graeme can now look forward to a Chinese stamp on his passport.
He carries with him the good wishes of the people of Berwickshire and the Borders.
