Their dad has Alzheimer’s and I want to help

Savannah (8) and Hailey (5) are the daughter's of Jon and Joy Francis.  Jon Francis (49) was a Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coach for 18 years and has been diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's.  He is no longer able to work, provide for his family, or engage as a husband and father should.

His wife, Joy, has shown incredible strength in dealing with these unfortunate circumstances.  She has done, and continues to do, everything possible to provide for her family.

The goal of this page is for family and friends, and anyone who may relate to their circumstances, to help in some way.  The stress of higher education costs are something this family shouldn't have to worry about with all they have gone through, and what they have yet to deal with.

Savannah loves to swim and had her first meet recently.  She is currently in the 2nd grade, loves to read, and is getting ready to participate in a school play.

Hailey is currently in kindergarten and loves making new friends, playing "dress up", and doing art projects.  She is looking forward to playing softball and taking dance lessons.

This page will continue to be updated as these two beautiful little girls grow and develop into the young women that will benefit from everyone's thoughtfulness.

Jon and Joy are former co-workers of mine, but more importantly, they are my friends.  Thank you for helping me give back to a family that has helped me so much and thank you for helping these girls achieve whatever their little hearts desire.
