During the month of October, along with rugby hero Brian O’Driscoll, Ireland’s nation of toddlers will be out in force for the annual Meningitis Trust Toddle Waddle. This year the Meningitis Trust is calling on all crèches and child minders to register for its Toddle Waddle. Register by logging on to www.meningitis-trust.ie, or by emailing [email protected]
Although meningitis can affect anyone, of any age, at any time, more than half of the reported cases every year in Ireland happen to children under five. Toddle Waddle was created to engage this age group and their parents, grandparents, playgroup teachers, and childminders – spreading awareness of the disease and its signs and symptoms, while at the same time raising funds to support the work of the trust, Ireland’s meningitis support organisation.
