England rugby hero Matt Dawson has revealed how his family endured
‘two weeks of hell’ as his two-year-old son fought meningitis B.
He described how toddler Sam underwent life-saving treatment at Great
Ormond Street Hospital, as a petition to have all children vaccinated
against the deadly virus gathered over 400,000 signatures.
The father-of-two, who was a member of England’s 2003 World Cup
winning squad, urged his followers to sign the petition, which was
launched after the death of toddler Faye Burdett.
The two-year-old, from Maidstone, died on Valentine’s Day after fighting the infection for 11 days.
Dawson, 43, told his followers: ‘I ask one favour. Please read and
sign so fewer kids suffer,’ as he shared a number of heartrending images
of his son receiving intensive treatment while covered in lesions.
