Toddle Waddle is observed annually on March 2 to raise awareness and encourage nurseries worldwide to walk and fundraise for meningitis. This event aims to support meningitis research through toddler walks. Meningitis is an inflammation of the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord, characterized by symptoms such as headache, neck stiffness, fever, and confusion. It primarily affects children under one year old and young people aged 16 to 23. The event highlights the importance of awareness and funding for meningitis, which has a historical context of high fatality rates during outbreaks before effective treatments were developed.
