Rowan's Law Day Toolkit for Schools
A competitive and keen athlete, Rowan Stringer was captain of her high school’s rubgy team. Tragically, in May 2013, 17-year-old Rowan died as the result of what is known as Second Impact Syndrome —catastrophic swelling caused by a second injury to a brain still healing from previous trauma. Rowan collapsed on the field and died four days later.
The Rowan’s Law Day Toolkit for Schools has been developed to help schools and classrooms recognize Rowan’s Law Day and encourage students to speak up about concussions.
