What was meant to be a joyful family trip turned into a heartbreaking tragedy when 4-year-old Jaxon Knowles suddenly fell ill and passed away from meningococcal disease — a rare and aggressive form of meningitis.Jaxon had been feeling unwell after a trip to Blackpool, complaining of arm pain and a stomach ache. His mom,
Sammy, gave him paracetamol and let him sleep in her bed, as she often did when he wasn’t feeling well. But by morning, his condition had worsened dramatically — a rash appeared, his mouth swelled, and he struggled to breathe.
