Publications

Our mission of supporting a cure for Alzheimer’s and helping families affected takes shapes in many ways. One of these is our online resource center where we list a number of resources that families and caregivers may want to consider. Everyone’s journey is unique, but the one constant is the need for support. Along the years, we have all learned a few things and been given recommendations from others. We hope you find something helpful within these pages.

 

Most of these publications can be found on Amazon.com. If purchasing through Amazon, consider using Amazon smile and chose The David K. Johnson Foundation as your charity. A portion of your purchase will support our Foundation.

Please Don’t Give Up on Me, by Lisa Pastorik – The story of a man, his love for his wife, and their struggle with Alzheimer’s disease ( I came across this one when searching for Jan’s book for some language – have any of you heard of it? Should we include it?)

While I Remember to Tell You, by Colleen Hertel – A combination guide/workbook/narrative/journal. This book is for anyone seeking to age with dignity and control.
