Isuzu Ute backs child safety champions

Isuzu Ute Australia has provided a new MU-X SUV to child safety education campaigners, Bruce and Denise Morcombe

Isuzu Ute Australia has delivered a new MU-X seven-seat SUV to Bruce and Denise Morcombe to help the pair continue their tireless work in highlighting the importance of child safety education and awareness.

Bruce and Denise’s 13-year-old son, Daniel, was murdered after being abducted on the Sunshine Coast, Qld, in 2003.

The couple established the Daniel Morcombe Foundation in 2005 to help educate children about how to stay safe in both physical and online environments, and to support young victims of crime.

Isuzu Ute Australia’s General Manager of Marketing & PR, Dave Harding, said IUA was only too happy to continue its support of the couple and the Daniel Morcombe Foundation in delivering child safety education programs to schools throughout Australia.

“After clocking up almost 60,000km in their trusty D-MAX we thought it would be nice to upgrade Bruce and Denise to our new MU-X,” he said.

“We all know it has been a pretty heavy start to the year for everyone involved with the Foundation and this was our little way of helping with the determined work Bruce, Denise and their team do.”

Bruce Morcombe said he and Denise were very thankful for Isuzu Ute Australia’s support.

“Isuzu Ute has been a supporter of the Foundation for a few years now and we’re very appreciative of this assistance,” Bruce said.

“When you consider how many kays we do each year, it takes a lot of stress out of the day-to-day running of our program knowing we have a reliable and economical vehicle on hand to get us to the hundreds of school visits we do each year,” he added.
