About 10% of cases result in mortality, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), making the sickness frequently lethal.
The Knowles family is now committed to preventing similar losses for other families. To support Meningitis Now, a nonprofit
Organization devoted to prevention and research, they established the Jaxon Knowles Forever Fund. They have raised about £13,000 (around $17,000) so far.
“Jaxon could not have been saved by any vaccine,” Sammy stated. “But perhaps that can change with more funding and research.”
