The appeal, to be conducted throughout New Zealand during February and March, will involve families, schools, kindergartens and early learning centres taking part in sponsored walks in their local communities.

Last year over 20,000 children from all over New Zealand joined the trust's mascot Monty the duck and his mates in the waddle, raising $50,000.

If you are part of a kindy, an early learning centre or even a group of friends you can hold your own Toddle Waddle. We’ll help by sending you a pack full of entertaining ideas, balloons, Monty the duck stickers, sponsor forms and meningitis symptom cards.
