September 27, 2023 marks Rowan's Law DaySeptember 27, 2023 marks Rowan's Law Day. It is remembered on the last Wednesday in the month of September. Rowan was a high school rugby player from Ottawa, who died in the spring of 2013 from a condition known as second impact syndrome (swelling of the brain caused by a subsequent injury that occurred before a previous injury healed). 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.
We encourage you to read about Rowan and her story. Remember #hitstopsit
