The McCanns did not want to use the meeting last Wednesday with the press to talk about money. But the spokesman Clarence Mitchell believes that "sooner or later, you will need to resume raising money" for the fund created in 2008 to finance the search for Maddie.
According to a report from D & B - a company that does financial analysis - the Madeleine's Fund, Leaving No Stone Unturned, now has a net worth of only 125,000 pounds. The fund grew to more than one million, but is less money coming in every year that passes, and general expenses in 2011 reached almost 27 thousand pounds.

Mitchell assures that "donations from individuals are becoming less' and that the fund now lives off the money the couple and friends received by way of damages in libel suits filed against newspapers. The value that join the copyright of the book written by Kate McCann, the spokesman for the parents of Maddie guarantees "have sold quite well."

To keep the money going into the coffers of the fund, Kate will launch next Thursday, a new version of the work - this time in paperback format - with "one more chapter to update the information."

Five years after Maddie had disappeared in the Algarve, Clarence Mitchell, the former communications adviser of the n. No. 10 Downing Street and former BBC journalist, continues to work for the McCanns' in full time, but in agreement with the company communication "which is now employed.

Gerry continues to work as a cardiologist at the Hospital of Leicester, where he returned in 2008. But Kate never returned to practice medicine. Their days, explains Clarence Micthell are dedicated "to care for twins and work on the campaign to find Madeleine." The Agenda of the mother of Maddie, part working with organizations dedicated to finding missing children and "meetings with the authorities."

The McCanns have also returned several times to Portugal. The last visit was on 10 April, when Gerry and Kate were to Praia da Luz. About what they did there, Mitchell will not reveal details. In passing through Lisbon, the couple took breakfast with Rogério Alves, to learn about the ongoing processes that continue to run in the Portuguese Justice.
