Meningitis Trust Toddle Waddle – It’s a Doddle!
After much anticipation Toddle Waddle is back! The Meningitis Trust are calling on all playgroups, kindergartens,
childminders, nannies and parents to join us now to take part in this fun sponsored walk for children and their carers
which will take place from the 14th – 20th March 2005.
Children wishing to waddle, toddle, hop skip or jump in the fight against meningitis are invited to join Monty the Duck
and the Meningitis Trust in this year’s event and help fight the infectious disease that kills more under fives than any
other.
Patron of the Meningitis Trust, Kevin Milne is encouraging people to join in saying, “Last year was my first experience
with the Toddle Waddle and I loved it. It's simple, it's fun and it's for an outstanding cause. You get to dress up, be
a bit silly, share a few laughs. The Fight for Life might bring in the big bucks. But the Toddle Waddle brings in the
little ones. And that's vitally important to the Meningitis Trust. Remember, with our kids help, we can quack it!”
Every dollar raised from the waddles will go towards towards supporting the hundreds of children and families who every
year face this devastating disease.
Event Organiser Nicola Garland said, “This is a big event for kindies, playcentres and toddler groups to get involved
with and really make a difference to the lives of children affected by meningitis. In fact anyone can join in and waddle
anywhere they want, from their local park, or playgroup or even round their own garden. We will back you every step of
the way by sending you a free pack full of fun ideas, balloons, stickers and Monty the duck hats for children to make”.
