Orta, a Riverside resident, donated a kidney to his identical twin brother, Jake, who suffered from kidney disease since birth.
The 2012 Donate Life Rose Parade Float’s theme is “One More Day,” embodying the nation’s most visible campaign to inspire people to save and heal lives as registered organ, eye, and tissue donors.
Orta will take his spot alongside 27 other inspirational float riders from throughout the country, who range in age from 17 to 67, whose lives were touched either as a donor or recipient of organ, eye or tissue donation.
