Aaron Mackrill was a much-loved member of the Tasmanian CF community who held the position of President from 2007 -2010. Sadly Aaron lost his battle with CF on Anzac Day 2010 at the age of just 29 years young. It was his wish, and that of his family, to have scholarships for further education and training to members of CFT.
