It's
Christmas - again. A time of mixed emotions for our family and
many others in similar positions around the world. A time to
hold together.
Thank you to
all our supporters for your help throughout the year and for
remaining united with us in our longing and determination to
find Madeleine.
The year has
ended on a positive note. Our search for Madeleine and the
Metropolitan Police review of the case are progressing well. In
addition, this December saw a landmark event for the protection
of, and support for, missing children and their families left
behind. The
Government's Missing Children and Adults'
Strategy aims to reduce the number of people who go
missing; to protect the missing whilst they are away and to give
families access to support, similar to victims of crime. The
strategy follows 12 months of campaigning by individuals and
organisations like the charity
Missing People.
Thank you to
everyone who supported this campaign and influenced this
significant development.
This
Christmas, please keep Madeleine and all missing loved ones and
their families in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you.
The support
you give enables us to move into 2012 with renewed energy and
continued hope.
Kate and
Gerry
