Toddle Waddle
What is a Toddle Waddle?
The Toddle Waddle is a fun way for the under 5s to help to raise awareness of meningitis with their very own sponsored walk. It is the Trust’s largest annual fundraising event, raising over €400,000 to date, and shows how small steps can lead to big changes.
It takes place throughout October, with thousands of toddlers taking part, all across the Ireland. However, we are quite happy for Toddle Waddles to be organised at other times in the year if it is more convenient.
Why hold a Toddle Waddle
Meningitis is the disease most feared by parents. Anyone, at any age, can contract meningitis, but those most at risk are the 0-4 age group. Meningitis kills more under 5s than any other infectious disease.
