Tim Johnson Memorial Fund
Helping Others Learn To Swim
Tim was a very special person to all who knew him. He brought joy to his brothers, nieces and nephews and his entire family. Tim loved the water and swimming. His family wanted to commemorate him with this fund to help others with Down syndrome learn to swim and love the water as much as he did. Donations in Tim’s name will go to the iCan Swim Camp for individuals with Down syndrome to learn to swim and be safe in the water.
