Local teen to ride in Rose Parade float
The theme for this year's Kaiser Permanente parade entry will be "Propel Your Dreams," which is a colorful and imaginative flying vehicle powered by inspiring children who cycle, row, and jog above floral clouds of solid roses. The images and the riders represent the importance of exercise and lifestyle in achieving and maintaining total health, a central theme of Kaiser Permanente's ongoing "Thrive" message.
With the aviation theme it is appropriate that one of the 14 riders is from Ontario.
Nikita was hospitalized at the age of two where she was hospitalized and nearly died, it was then that she was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
She has gone through chemotherapy and several other treatments and was declared cancer-free three years after her diagnosis.
At the age of 14, Nikita and her family are doing their part to help find a cure by participating in fundraising activities sponsored by groups like the American Cancer Society.
