Coach Luti changed my life from the second I said, "I'm gonna be a star!" He saw me as a teenager to an adult and no matter what I went through in life, he always treated me the same. I've directed the race in his name for 30 years. Before I started doing it my life was very standard, but after I started? Not much. It's shown me the full circle of life.
