Parents Tackle Goal of Teaching CPR to Thousands
The parents of 16-year-old Morgan Wilson are creating an CPR education organization after their daughter died of cardiac arrest.
She collapsed while playing tennis and died in the hospital several days later.
Her parents believe she would still be alive today if she had received CPR in time. So, in memory of their daughter, they are creating a program with the intention of teaching every Orange County high school student CPR, symptoms of cardiac arrest, and how to use a defibrillator.
They’re calling the organization Learn for Morgan. They hope to “prevent as many untimely deaths as possible,” said Morgan’s mother, Debbie Wilson.
