A Message Dear to One Cerritos Resident's Heart: "Recycle Yourself"

Cerrotos-Artesia Patch | MarieSam Sanchez

Cora Johnson, a longtime Cerritos resident, will be riding aboard the Donate Life float in today's Rose Parade in Pasadena. She hopes to inspire others to "Recycle Yourself" through organ and tissue donation.

Each year millions across the world tune in to watch the revelry and beauty of the annual Rose Parade in Pasadena. And this year, if you look closely at one of the floats, you just may spot a Cerritos resident who says she plans to have the ride of her life.

Today, longtime local Cora Johnson will be donning a bright red sweatshirt and a proud smile along with 27 other riders aboard Donate Life’s ninth Rose Parade float titled “…One More Day.” (See float sketch in image carousel.)

“Our riders were carefully selected by sponsors to represent the millions of people who participate in and benefit from organ, eye, and tissue donation and transplantation,” said Bryan Stewart, chairman of the Donate Life float committee and vice president of communications at OneLegacy, the non-profit organ and tissue organization serving the greater Los Angeles area.
