Kate McCann 'more driven than ever', 01 May 2015

Kate McCann 'more driven than ever' Press Association Press Association - Kate McCann is to undertake a cycle challenge to raise money for the Missing People charity (Gareth Fuller/PA Wire) ---------------- The mother of missing Madeleine McCann has said she is "more driven than ever" to continue the search for her daughter, ahead of the eighth anniversary of the girl's disappearance. Kate McCann spoke as she announced that she will lead a 500-mile (805km) bike ride 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. Mrs McCann, who is fundraising 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. Last week her parents 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 fundraising 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." :: To donate to Kate McCann's Cycle Challenge visit www.justgiving.com/KateMcCann/

Donations can no longer be made to this page. (...) ------------ Screenshot above taken at 09:30 AM 01 May 2015 Kate's 500 Mile Cycle Challenge I am taking on the 500 mile cycle challenge for Missing People because they are a lifeline when someone disappears ---------------- Event: Missing People Cycle 2015 on 13/06/2015 ----------------- Story In June, I'm taking on the 500 mile cycle challenge for Missing People to continue to raise awareness of the charity and the valuable work it does in helping all missing children and vulnerable adults and their families left behind. Obviously this issue is one which is very close to my heart….and as the eighth anniversary of our daughter Madeleine's abduction is upon us, I'm even more driven to help prevent or lessen these devastating crimes against children and the suffering which consequently ensues. I'm particularly keen during this 'adventure' to highlight the UK's Child Rescue Alert (CRA). This system can save the lives of abducted children. The general public play a major part in the success of the CRA and can help simply by signing up to www.childrescuealert.org.uk Thank you to everyone who has signed up already….and for those who haven't, please come on board now so that you'll be ready to join the search to bring those missing children home. Despite being relatively new to road-cycling (eek!), I'm really looking forward to this challenge. It's been good making myself 'be brave' and get out there…..and on a positive note, the brakes are no longer on quite as fully during the downhills! Blood, sweat and tears (with a few too many hours in the saddle) ……………but if it makes a difference - which with your support I know it will - it'll be worth it. THANK YOU once again for your help and support. Kate x

Fiona's Missing People Cycle Challenge 2015 JustGiving   Screenshot above taken at 17:30 PM 04 May 2015 Fiona's Missing People Cycle Challenge 2015 I am cycling from Edinburgh to London in 5 days for Missing People because I want to support a charity close to my heart. --------------- Event: Missing People Cycle 2015 on 13/06/2015 In memory of: Madeleine McCann ------------- Story Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. On May 3rd 2007, my family and I were holidaying with our friends Kate and Gerry McCann in Portugal when the unimaginable happened; their daughter, Madeleine, was abducted. The intolerable pain and devastation that ensued for my dear friends will stay with me forever - it is the most brutal relentless agony I have ever witnessed, and it doesn't stop, ever. The ripples are far reaching also, for the family, and friends who desperately try to support and help whilst also dealing with their own feelings of loss and distress. Missing People charity have been a lifeline. They have provided vital on-going support as the days have turned into years not only to family but friends also. You will have heard of Madeleine McCann and perhaps other missing people, but there are many more that you won't have. For their families, life without their loved one can be an unbearable struggle. Missing People are there for them 24 hours a day, every day of the year. By taking part in this cycle challenge I hope to raise valuable funds to support this charity who have supported my friends and I. Your donation is very much appreciated. Thank you. ------------- Gallery   ----------- Fiona's page links to the following: Remembering Madeleine McCann JustGiving Amount we've raised in Madeleine's memory £1,375.24

Kate and husband Gerry has been dining at a nearby restaurant in Portugal's Algrave with friends when Madeline, who was aged three at the time, went missing from her family's holiday apartment. Eight years on, Kate says she is still as determined as ever to find Madeline, and hopes to raise money for Missing People charity, of which she is an ambassador. Kate said: "As an Ambassador for Missing People I'm taking on the Cycle Challenge to raise awareness and to fund the charity's valuable work helping missing children, vulnerable adults and their families left behind.

Kate McCann in cycling fundraiser, 13 June 2015

Kate McCann in cycling fundraiser Daily Mail By PRESS ASSOCIATION PUBLISHED: 05:58, 13 June 2015 | UPDATED: 05:58, 13 June 2015 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. Kate McCann is a supporter of Child Rescue Alerts ----------------- 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."
