How Dan Vickerman's legacy is helping to diagnose CTE in athletes before it's too late

Wallabies great Dan Vickerman achieved so much on the rugby field, but off it, he faced a silent battle with CTE. After his death, his family set out to understand the disease and fight for change. Through their efforts and the creation of the Dan Vickerman Scholarship, researchers are now working to find a way to diagnose CTE in living athletes, offering hope to families around the world. #rugbyunion #rugby #sports #CTE #australia Connect With The Australian Online 🖥 https://www.theaustralian.com.au Follow Us: Facebook ►   / theaustralian   Instagram ► https://bit.ly/39w5T2j Twitter ►   / australian   LinkedIn ►   / posts   🎧 Podcast ► https://www.theaustralian.com.au/nati... 🎥 Subscribe To Our YouTube Channel: http://bit.ly/1OT7tw4 #breakingnews #news #headlinenews
