THE Meningitis Trust would like to thank toddlers in the North West for helping to raise £320,000 towards the fight against meningitis.
Thousands of under-fives joined in our special Toddle Waddle sponsored walk and helped to make this the biggest fund-raising event in the Trust's 16-year history. We must also thank Tesco Toddler Club and its members for giving us great support.
The money raised will go towards fighting meningitis, which still kills more under-fives than any other infectious disease and will help fund research into life-saving vaccines, raise awareness of the symptoms and provide support to the thousands of families affected every year.
Readers can see photographs and find out about this years' event at www.toddlewaddle.org.
