Martha Doran has selflessly and tirelessly advocated for her husband Joe. Martha and Joe are willing to participate in any study that will not only benefit Joe but others too. They moved to a different city so they could be closer to family but they still make it a point to be involved in research. Martha and Joe have tried to enroll in any research study they can, even when Joe isn’t eligible for one study they try out for another.
Martha also makes sure that Joe follows the 8 pillars AD as much as possible—Stay Active, Eat Well, Sleep Well, Exercise Your Brain, Connect with Friends and Family, Relax and Reduce Stress, Control Risk Factors and most of all—getting involved in research.
