A little
girl has been so touched by the story of missing Madeleine McCann that
she's on a solo mission to help find her.
It began
when Laura Keay, five, saw her mum reading the book, Madeleine, Kate
McCann's story of the family's ordeal after her three-year-old daughter
disappeared on holiday in Portugal in 2007.
Laura's
mum Caroline Dumville, 45, said: "She saw the picture of Madeleine on
the front and asked me what it was all about so I explained.
"In the
picture she's a similar age to Laura so it really hit home.
"She was
very upset. She immediately emptied her piggy-bank and asked me to send
the money to help Madeleine."
Then
Laura, who lives with her mum and dad Andrew, 49, and sister Isla,
three, on Grange Park Avenue, Wilmslow, wondered how she could raise
more money.
"I
suggested she do a sponsored walk and try to find people to sponsor
her," added Caroline, who runs Primrose Cottage Nursery in Moss Nook.
"It's
quite thoughtful for someone that age to be bothered. I suppose I relate
too, because I have two young girls and if something like that happened
it would be a nightmare."
So Laura
will walk, with her mum, around The Carrs on Sunday, June 26.
Styal
Primary School pupil Laura said: "I want to help Madeleine.
"I want
to find her. It's very sad but if I help they will pay for more
policemen, because they're all giving up."
All the money which Laura raises will be sent to the
charity Madeleine's Fund Leaving No
Stone Unturned, the only organisation still actively searching for the
McCanns' daughter.
Laura
plans to write to Madeleine's parents when she sends her sponsorship
money.
