On May 3rd,
there were
special church
services for
Madeleine - here
in Rothley, in
Liverpool and in
Praia da Luz.
Each of these
services was
very well
attended and
described by
those there as
being very
beautiful. In
addition many
other masses and
prayers were
offered for
Madeleine on
this day
throughout the
UK and beyond.
It is a great
comfort for us
as a family to
know that
Madeleine
remains so
strongly in
people's
thoughts and
prayers.
On May 8th,
Bishop Ellis
Primary School
('Madeleine's
school') held an
'Auction of
Promises'. This
was a well
supported and
really fun
night, with over
'6000 being
raised for
Madeleine's
Fund. Well done
and many thanks
to everyone who
helped make this
evening a
success! During
the same
weekend, many
runners taking
part in a 10K
race in
Liverpool wore
Madeleine 'Don't
Give Up On Me'
T-shirts and
again a
substantial
amount of money
was raised for
the fund. Thank
you! Keep going
everyone - it
all helps.
Following on
from the Cutting
Edge documentary
and
reconstruction
-'Madeleine was
here' - shown
initially in the
UK on May 7th,
we have had many
calls and emails
coming in to our
investigative
team. We are
really pleased
with the
response and
currently all
pieces of
information are
being
prioritised and
followed up as
necessary.
Again, thank you
to everyone who
has had the
courage and
compassion to
come forward and
pass on their
information. It
may only take
one call or one
email to unravel
this 'puzzle',
end the
nightmare and
hopefully bring
our Madeleine
home.
On Tuesday
May 12th it was
Madeleine's
birthday. She is
now 6 years old.
We had a small
birthday party
with close
family and a few
of Madeleine's
friends. She
deserves to be
celebrated.
Hopefully next
year she'll be
here to blow out
her birthday
cake candles
herself.
Madeleine's
grandma and
grandad, and
great aunt and
uncle spent a
few days at the
shrine in Fatima
over the period
of Madeleine's
birthday and the
feast of Our
Lady of Fatima.
They described
it as a very
moving
experience and a
good and
comforting place
to be at such an
emotional time.
Thank you
again to
everyone for
continuing to
support us
during these
difficult times-
for all the
'well-wisher'
cards, letters
and flowers, as
well as the
birthday cards
and gifts sent
for Madeleine.
Despite the
sadness of our
situation, we
are very aware
that we are
incredibly lucky
to have such
kind and
invaluable
support. Thank
you.
