The need for brain research is one of the reasons why all the adults in the Demers family have decided to register for the Brain Donor Project.

Staying active is one of the many ways Don Demers Sr., 73, deals with his battle with Parkinson's disease.

After analyzing and identifying key info as part of his job role for many years, Demers Sr. knows more than a thing or two about the value of research. The goal for the company is to simplify the process of brain donation, making it free and easy for families to donate a brain upon death. "We're not getting answers fast enough," said Hevel. "At this point, one in five of us suffers from some sort of neurological disease or disorder."
