Rowan’s Law was named for Rowan Stringer, a high school rugby player from Ottawa, who died in the spring of 2013 from a condition known as second impact syndrome. Rowan is believed to have experienced three concussions over six days while playing rugby. She had a concussion but didn’t know her brain needed time to heal. Neither did her parents, teachers or coaches. - Ontario.ca

The last Wednesday of each September has been designated as Rowan’s Law Day to help raise awareness about concussion safety.

Today I share about Rowan's Law and the importance of having concussion protocols in sports, schools, and work places. 

Please to this episode to honour Rowan but, to gain awareness about concussions and become more aware.
