Matt Dawson reveals son Sami's meningitis battle
Last week two-year-old Faye Burdett lost her brave battle to meningitis B, bringing the disease firmly into the headlines. Desperate that some good might come out of their tragedy, Faye's family launched an online petition calling for the meningitis B vaccination to be offered to all children, not just those born in the last year. It has become the most signed online petition in parliamentary history- attracting nearly 700,000 signatures to date.
One father who is firmly backing this campaign, is former England rugby player Matt Dawson, whose son Sami was left fighting for his life after he contracted meningitis just three weeks ago. With Sami now at home recovering, Matt talks exclusively to us.
