Will you try a Toddle Waddle? 
Come and join Brian O’ Driscoll, Ireland Rugby Captain in supporting the Meningitis Trust and have some fun this October, while helping families in your community at the same time.
This will be Brian’s first Toddle Waddle, and he has really enjoyed hearing how over 8,000 children and their carers, parents, grandparents and friends have walked, waddled, skipped and hopped around Ireland in recent years, and raised an incredible €400,000 in sponsorship!
This year, send your Registration back by September 10th and you’ll be entered in a free draw for a €100 gift token.
"Thankfully, meningitis has not affected me, but it’s something I’m very conscious of and I am delighted to support this year's Toddle Waddle." - Brian O’Driscoll, Ireland Rugby Captain
So, let’s get quacking!
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. 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.
Ideally it takes place throughout October, with thousands of toddlers taking part, all across the Ireland. However, we would be delighted for Toddle Waddles to be organised at other times in the year if it is more convenient.
Where does a Toddle Waddle take place?
The beauty of a Toddle Waddle is that you have control over where it is held. It could be in the local park, your children’s creche, in your local leisure centre, as part of a sports day or even in your living room. It is a great way for children to help children in a fun and exciting way.
