Day for Daniel: Are you taking part in this national day of action?
Daniel Morcombe’s name is etched in the hearts and minds of those across the country who watched his heartbreaking story unfold.
Seventeen years later, his parents Bruce and Denise are ensuring children who weren’t even born when Daniel went missing, know his story in a bid to make the world a safer place.
The Daniel Morcombe Foundation’s Day for Daniel has its sights set on a new record this year –4,500 registrations for its upcoming national day of action on Friday 30 October.
Day for Daniel honours the memory of Daniel by raising awareness about child safety, protection, and harm prevention.
It’s a day for parents, carers, educators, and community groups to teach children important personal safety lessons.
