10 Year Big Brother match Cobi Winter (Little) and Darrin Varga (Big Brother) featured on Global Edmonton talking about what a lifelong friendship has meant for the both of them. Cobi explains that Darrin has helped him step out of his shell and becoming a bit more outgoing. Darrin explains the relationship that transitioned from more of a formal Big Brothers Little Brother match to more of a friendship. Going to the park, eating pizza, watching movies and attending Oilers games are some of their favourite activities to do — showcasing just how simple mentor-ship can be. And after all this time, Cobi hopes to follow in Darrin’s footsteps and give back to the organization and give back to a child or youth the same way Darrin has done to him.
