Rose Parade Float honors Lowell native

Andrew Benedict's' family split this New Year's day, with his parents in Pasadena, California at the Tournament of Roses Parade. His aunts, uncles, cousins and other were at home in Lowell, watching the parade on TV and the float with Andrew's picture.

"It's really special.' says Andrew's aunt Mary.

Andrew was killed in a snowmobile accident two year ago. His organs were donated. Andrew's photo was one of 76 donors to appear on the Donate Life Float.

"Ya know, we lost someone very special to us." says Mary Benedict. "But the awareness for the organ donations, and having that float in the parade just keeps getting that information out there."
