Over 6,000 toddlers will hit Dublin's streets for a half-mile fundraising walk for Barnardos.
The children's charity launched their annual Big Toddle at Airfield Estate in Dundrum yesterday. And they announced that the theme this year, Big Toddle Little Heroes, celebrates Ireland’s youngest fundraisers who help vulnerable children their own age by completing a half-mile sponsored walk in their creche, childcare group, pre-school, or with their families.
Ambassador Amy Huberman joined the launch along with a group of toddlers. She said: "I am delighted to be part of Barnardos Big Toddle and most importantly to support the work of Barnardos. I have been an Ambassador for 10 years now and supporting children to have a better start in life is something very close to my heart."
