Malakai Carey will be honored as a rider on this year’s float. Sponsored by OneLegacy

Malakai was diagnosed at the age of 11 with a rare form of liver cancer. After many months of chemo and multiple surgeries at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, it was determined that he would need a liver transplant. His parents received a call that there was a donor with the perfect liver for Malakai’s body. However, he was second in line. His family waited with anticipation by the phone. Around 10 am the next morning, his family received THE CALL! Malakai was being fast-tracked into surgery, and his parents needed to hurry and get him to the hospital! On November 25th, 2019, Malakai received the best gift anyone could ever give: the gift of life! His family is forever grateful that the donor family chose life after death, chose to give to another selflessly, and chose to say yes! Malakai is now 16, a high school junior, living life to its fullest with gratitude and thanks!
