Waddle Vision & Aim
Waddle’s vision is to raise awareness of Spina Bifida & Hydrocephalus in Northern Ireland. Waddle participants ‘Walked & Paddled’ 100 miles of the River Bann from source to sea in aid of the life changing work of the Royal Victoria Hospital for Sick Children, and the Association for Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus (ASBAH).
As of the 25th June almost £10,000 had been raised for these two charities both of which have been crucial in the provision of vitally important services to the spina bifida and hydrocephalus community in Northern Ireland.
Waddle aims to encourage Northern Ireland society to pause, think and to be truly inclusive by changing attitudes and removing physical barriers which prevent disabled people living their lives to the full.
Charities
The Royal Victoria Hospital for Sick Children is the only dedicated Children’s Hospital in Northern Ireland providing specialist care for seriously ill children and support for their families across all six counties.
ASBAH is the leading UK registered charity providing information and advice about Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus. ASBAH's vision is a future where everyone with Spina Bifida or Hydrocephalus can get the most out of life.
