New Year's Day will see kidney recipient John Cervantes, 46, ride on the Donate Life float while his brother and donor, 48-year-old Michael Cervantes, will walk alongside.
The two will join other kidney donors and organ transplant recipients from across the U.S. who will either ride the float or walk alongside it to inspire the nation and the world about organ donation. Since 2004, the Donate Life Rose Parade float has served as a memorial to organ and tissue donors and a platform for donor families, living donors, and transplant recipients to inspire the world to save and heal those in need through the gift of life.
Loma Linda University Health, Loma Linda University Medical Center, and Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital have been strong supporters of the organ transplantation cause, and have regularly sponsored riders for the Donate Life float over the years.
