Benicia man takes lesson to heart, and to Rose Parade

Vallejo Times Herald | Jessica A. York

Riding a rose-covered float next week will be an adventure for Benicia resident Anthony Robinson.

The 53-year-old San Francisco firefighter is a heart transplant survivor, recovering more than a year after his surgery. Now, he regularly speaks out publicly about how the organ donation saved his life for the California Transplant Donor Network.

"It's an honor to be selected," Robinson, a fire investigative services bureau captain, said of the upcoming parade.

Robinson will be one of 18 to ride the Donate Life America "One More Day" float at the Jan. 2 Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, which precedes the Rose Bowl Game between Wisconsin and Oregon.
