Kate McCann, Simon Cowell back missing children campaign
06:30, 6 JUNE 2015
BY DAVID GODSALL
Madeleine McCann was three when she went missing from her family’s holiday apartment in Portugal’s Algarve on May 3, 2007 as her parents, Kate and Gerry, dined at a nearby tapas restaurant with friends.

Celebrities including Stephen Fry and Simon Cowell have joined a charity Twitter campaign to help find missing children.

The QI host and X Factor supremo reached out to their combined total of nearly 22 million followers in support of Missing People’s Big Tweet, on International Missing Children’s Day.

They were joined by Madeleine McCann’s mother Kate, who said the campaign “harnesses social media for good”.

Kate McCann will also lead a 500-mile (805km) bike ride from Edinburgh to London in June to raise £10,000 for a missing persons charity.

Mrs McCann will lead 20 cyclists on a Cycle Challenge starting at Arthur’s Seat, Edinburgh’s landmark hill, on June 13. They will then take in Newcastle, York, Nottingham and Northampton before finishing at the Tower of London on June 17.

Madeleine was three when she went missing from her family’s holiday apartment in Portugal’s Algarve on May 3, 2007 as her parents, Kate and Gerry, dined at a nearby tapas restaurant with friends.

Madeleine’s disappearance is one of the most famous missing persons cases of all time.

Her parents recently won a libel payout against Portuguese detective Goncalo Amaral, who had been on trial over claims he made in a book and a documentary that the couple were involved in Madeleine’s disappearance in Praia da Luz.

In a written verdict, a Lisbon court agreed that Mr Amaral should pay Mr and Mrs McCann 250,000 euros (£179,000) each in damages and it banned further sales of his book, The Truth Of The Lie.

British police officers spent eight days searching three areas of land in Praia da Luz last June, close to where Madeleine disappeared, but found no new evidence.

The Metropolitan Police launched their own operation in 2011.

Missing People is launching a fund-raising effort alongside Mrs McCann’s ride. £MissforMay encourages people to give up a luxury for May and donate the money they save.

Its chief executive, Jo Youle, said: “We are hugely grateful to Kate McCann for taking on this incredible challenge to help missing people and their families across the UK.”

Missing Madeleine McCann's mum leading charity bike ride tomorrow
08:02, 12 JUNE 2015

Madeleine was three when she went missing from her family’s holiday apartment in Portugal’s Algarve.

MISSING Madeleine McCann’s mum Kate will be leading a 500-mile (805km) bike ride tomorrow (Sunday) from Edinburgh to London in June to raise £10,000 for a missing persons charity.

Madeleine was three when she went missing from her family’s holiday apartment in Portugal’s Algarve on May 3, 2007, as her parents, Kate and Gerry, dined at a nearby tapas restaurant with friends.

When announcing she was taking part in the ride, Mrs McCann, who is fund-raising for Missing People, of which she is an ambassador, said: “As the eighth anniversary of our daughter Madeleine’s abduction is upon us, I’m more driven than ever to continue the search for Madeleine and to help other families who face the pain of a child being missing. All of us can play a part in helping this important charity.”

Mrs McCann will lead 20 cyclists on a Cycle Challenge starting at Arthur’s Seat, Edinburgh’s landmark hill, on June 13. They will then take in Newcastle, York, Nottingham and Northampton before finishing at the Tower of London on June 17.

Madeleine’s disappearance is one of the most famous missing persons cases of all time.

Guest post: Kate McCann - "vital time was lost in the search for Madeleine"

The Child Rescue Alert is potentially life-saving, says Kate McCann, and may protect others from the heartache and despair her family has experienced

"It is important to me that I play a role in preventing further heartache and despair for others."

This weekend, I will be embarking on a 500 mile cycle challenge from Edinburgh to London for the charity Missing People. In my third year as a voluntary ambassador for the charity, this challenge is an opportunity for me to raise funds to support the charity's vital work with missing children and adults, and the families they leave behind.

Eight years since my daughter Madeleine went missing, it is important to me that I play a role in preventing further heartache and despair for others in similar situations.

The cycle challenge also marks a year since the Child Rescue Alert was launched in the UK. It's a simple idea - a mechanism for alerting as many people as possible when a child is thought to have been abducted and in imminent danger - but potentially life-saving. It is designed to provoke a rapid and widespread public response.

The night that our little girl was taken from her bed, we mistakenly presumed that some kind of alert would have gone out immediately to the public, to get as many eyes and ears involved in the search as possible. That didn't happen. No system existed to get the message out into the public domain quickly, and thereby recruit help. Vital time was lost in the search for Madeleine. We will never know the difference this could have made.

The night that our little girl was taken from her bed, we mistakenly presumed that some kind of alert would have gone out immediately to the public. That didn't happen.

The success of the system, however, is reliant on members of the public signing up to receive free alerts when a child goes missing. In the past twelve months, over 123,000 people have done just that – but we need thousands more in order to achieve the reach we need.

So we can give ourselves the best possible chance of bringing home an abducted child quickly and safely, we need to grow our community. I hope that with every push of a pedal the Missing People cycle team makes this week, we will encourage more and more people to join us in solidarity with all of those families waiting at home, in limbo, without news of their loved one.

The journey from Edinburgh to London will be a tough one – hills and miles, and more miles and more hills – and I will be away from my twins for five whole days. But I know the team will keep each other going, and be strengthened by the knowledge that every ‘rpm’ will be contributing towards what is a lifeline when someone disappears.

The Mumsnet community is an important one, and you could make a real difference in the search for our missing children. Even if you are unable to make a donation to the charity, I'd be really grateful if you would take a moment to sign up to receive free Child Rescue Alerts via text message, email or through the app.

That dont look like a cheap place that they are at it's probably the hotel near the Scottish Parliament (very costly) The Parliament is opposite the starting point,cant see them staying in a cheapo guest house.

Eh? Since when were the National Galleries anywhere near Holyrood? Is there some different, hater Edinburgh, in which extremely large buildings move themselves around?

No wonder they never get anything right about the actual case. rofl

Kate McCann leaves Edinburgh on £10k charity cycle

HAVE YOUR SAY
KATE McCann, mother of missing Madeleine, hopes to raise £10,000 for charity as she sets off on an Edinburgh to London bike ride.

Mrs McCann will join around 20 cyclists for the five-day, 500-mile challenge in aid of the UK charity Missing People.

Due to set off from the centre of Edinburgh today, they will take in Newcastle, York, Nottingham and Northampton before crossing the finish line in London on June 17.

Mrs McCann is an ambassador for Missing People and last year launched Child Rescue Alert, which has seen more than 250,000 people sign up to receive alerts when a child is feared to have been abducted.

She said: “The Missing People Cycle Challenge is particularly significant for me, a year on from the launch of Child Rescue Alert in the UK.

“The night that our little girl was taken from her bed, we mistakenly presumed that an alert would have gone out immediately to the public to get as many eyes and ears involved in the search as possible.

“But no such system existed to get a message out into the public domain quickly and recruit help. Although a simple idea, Child Rescue Alert is a potentially life-saving system, the success of which is reliant on us, as members of the public, to sign up to receive free alerts when a child goes missing.

“I hope that with every push of a pedal the Missing People cycle team makes from one end of the country to the other, we will encourage more and more people to join us in support of the charity and in solidarity with all of those families waiting at home, in limbo, without news of their loved one.”

Missing People chief executive Jo Youle said: “Every year I am deeply moved by the way the Cycle Challenge brings together families desperately missing loved ones with supporters of the charity, all pulling together in solidarity so we can offer a lifeline when someone disappears.

“As the team members stretch themselves and support each other with every aspect of the Challenge, they always keep in mind the many missing adults, children and families that the charity supports.”

Incidentally, wherever that pic of all the riders were taken, it doesn't look 'very costly' to me. It looks more like the dining room of a Travelodge or similar. Though maybe that seems 'posh' to the haters.........

I doubt very much if she was staying in the Caledonian, for instance. Now that is high-end. Or posh.

I have noticed a lot of haters have the bizarre idea that this fund closes today; why on earth would it do that, when this is only the FIRST day of the cycle run?
