Learn. Train. Save a life.
Empowering Everyday Heroes
Wright Response is my community service initiative focused on lifesaving education.
Through hands-on CPR, AED, and Stop the Bleed training, I aim to close the gap between the willingness to help and the ability to respond.
Whether you’re in a school, stadium, or everyday situation, Wright Response equips you with the skills to step in with confidence when seconds count.
Why Wright Response?
Over 350,000 cardiac arrests happen outside of hospitals in the U.S. each year—yet only about
40%
of victims receive bystander CPR.
Every second counts in an emergency—and most often, it’s not a doctor or EMT who gets there first. It’s a friend, a teacher, a coach… maybe even you. Yet too many people hesitate because they don’t feel prepared. That’s where Wright Response comes in.

​
Victims of life-threating bleeding can die in as little as
5 Minutes
but early intervention through Stop the Bleed training, survial rates can increase by
80%
in cases of traumatic injury
These aren’t just statistics. They’re real lives—often lost not because no one cared, but because no one knew what to do.
​
Wright Response exists to change that. With just a few simple, hands-on skills, anyone can step in and save a life. And that’s a responsibility we can all share.
It was my first time reporting live for ESPN+. I was standing on the sidelines at Georgia Southern, nerves fully activated, trying to look like I knew what I was doing. Then came a call in my ear piece:
Stand by....
Go Megan.
It was time to go live. In that split second, I had a choice: freeze, or respond. I chose to respond.
​
It wasn’t just my first broadcast. It was the moment I realized something bigger:
being prepared isn’t luck. It’s learned.
​That feeling—the nerves, the pressure, the split-second choice—mirrors what so many people experience in a real emergency. The difference is, in those moments, someone’s life might depend on it.
The confidence to act comes from what you’ve built before the moment hits. When that moment comes, you don’t rise to the occasion—you fall to your level of preparation.​
That's the heart
behind
learn. train. save a life.
What started as a personal moment has grown into a movement built on preparation, access, and empowerment. Over the years, I’ve worked to bring life-saving training to communities across Georgia, one person, one classroom, one conversation at a time.
