Rowan is believed to have experienced three concussions over six days while playing rugby. She had a concussion but didn\u2019t know her brain needed time to heal. Neither did the community around her.<\/p>\n<p>Please join us in remembering Rowan by promoting concussion safety. We all have a responsibility in recognizing a possible concussion following a hit to the head or body.
