I'm a rugby coach. I never went pro, but I got to see 670 kids fall in love with the game.
Practice always ended with the same rule: nobody walks home alone. I paint watercolors of whatever is outside the window.
It has been a good run and I'm grateful for all of it.

What gifts mean to Arda: I'll put any gifts toward a small fund so no child misses a match because of money.
