Dustin's Story
At the young age of 17, Dustin was first diagnosed with undifferentiated sarcoma of the pelvis with metastasis to the pancreas in 2013. Throughout multiple rounds of chemotherapy, Dustin’s positive attitude and bravery kept him out on the golf course.
As Dustin once put it “Courage doesn’t mean you don’t get afraid, it means you don’t let fear stop you. Fear has two meanings, forget everything and run or or face everything and rise, that’s your choice”.
