People across Australia participated this year.  This includes almost 5000 schools and hundreds of businesses, public and private events. 

Bruce and Denise were joined by 250 fellow walkers and dignitaries including Queensland Police Commissioner Katarina Carroll, Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton, Daniel Morcombe Foundation ambassador Kay McGrath, skating legend Steven Bradbury, Marty Hunt, David Law, Winston Johnston, Ted O’Brien and Jenny Mackay.

Wear Red, Educate and Donate was the theme of Day for Daniel, as the Palmwoods Foundation strives to have schools, early learning centres, businesses and communities across Australia take action and conduct child safety activities in their local communities.

“Day for Daniel is a day where Australia reflects upon the other youngsters who have suffered abuse by the hands of others, acknowledge we can do better and quite frankly, in these challenging times we have to. This year’s motto is: “Keeping Kids Safe Matters,” said Bruce.
