Maddie: Kate keeps hopes running high
KATE MCCANN ran into action yesterday to keep the search for her missing daughter Madeleine in the spotlight.
The 41-year-old wore a white vest with a picture of Madeleine on the front and the words “Don’t give up on me” as she participated in the Great Kibworth run near her home in Leicestershire.
Mrs McCann, a keen runner, finished a third of a marathon, in support of one of her favoured charities Macmillan Cancer Support.
She was joined by friends including Fiona Payne – a member of the Tapas Seven group of key witnesses in the disappearance of the toddler. Husband Gerry McCann cheered his wife on. Mrs McCann, who returned to Portugal last week for the first time since Madeleine vanished from Praia da Luz in 2007, said detectives were still working hard on the case. She said: “We’ve had a lot of information come in even this far down the line. There are various reasons why they don’t come forward in the early days.
“We just need to keep going, just need to get more information and hope we get the bit we need really.”
Mrs McCann has said that she cries daily for her missing daughter. “Each day we get through, each week that we get through, I’m thinking, how is Madeleine?” she added.
