Dustin McConnell drowned while swimming at Sandy Beach in 2010; after learning that his life might have been saved had paramedics attended to him at the scene Dustin’s family has put time and effort into helping ensure the local ambulance services are able to provide the highest standard of response when needed. Dustin was very community minded and helped out a lot in his short life. The legacy of Dustin is celebrated by fundraising for a Life Support Scholarship through The Annual Dustin McConnell Memorial Golf fundraiser which takes place each June.
