Canadian rugby star Jamie Cudmore looks to raise concussion awareness
Sadly Jamie Cudmore knows about concussions all too well.
The 38-year-old lock forward from Squamish, B.C., arguably Canada’s most famous rugby export over the last decade, has painful first-hand experience. At six foot five and 255 pounds, the teak-hard Cudmore plays a physical game and has paid the price.
Now Cudmore is looking to help protect others via his soon-to-be-launched Rugby Safety Network, a non-profit foundation he is establishing with wife Jennifer March-Cudmore.
He believe France, where he has played professionally since 2004, is behind North America and Britain when it comes to sports head injuries.
