It's approaching the 10th anniversary since Armstrong donated 60% of her liver to her mother, Rena, in September 2016, after she was diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver.
Fast forward to today, Armstrong says her mother is thriving. She's had the opportunity to see her grandkids and great-grandkids grow up. Armstrong offered encouragement to those who may be inspired by her story.
Donate Life California CEO Jim Martin told CBS Sacramento that the DMV is where they get 95% of organ donor registrants and that this is a way they can honor DMV employees for the work they do, honoring two people from the DMV each year to be part of the Rose Parade experience with One Legacy sponsoring the float, bringing organ donors from all over the country together.
Martin also offered encouragement to anyone who may be hesitant to sign up to be an organ donor.
Martin said that there are 20,000 people on the waiting list for organ transplant in California, with more than 100,000 across the U.S. For Martin, this is personal.
In Pasadena on Monday, Armstrong went to see the float, the decorations and construction that goes into the Rose Parade floats.
