Kate McCann has raised nearly 18K for Missing People Charity

.. and there is still 36 hours to go before the London Marathon! Well done Kate McCann for your efforts to raise funds for this very good cause.

that's fantastic - an excellent charity org.

So Kate has raised almost double her £10,000 target with her total at £17,956.12 and Jane Tanner has raised £2,350.00, well above her own target. These two women are going to be doing more for society over a period of three hours tomorrow than some of their cowardly online attackers have done in their entire lives.

And don't forget that Jane has run the London Marathon before for charity and both her and Kate have raised many, many thousands of pounds through these efforts (not just Missing People but cancer charities and others) in the past.

Well done to both of them and lets hope they both have good runs tomorrow.

As for anyone who does not understand how publicising Missing People is related to the case, then they surely have not understood what happened in PDL six years ago. Just to remind them, a little girl called Madeleine went missing.

Other people go missing every day and both Kate and Jane (and others, incidentally) are giving up their time and efforts tomorrow to raise funds which will help this Charity find these people, will enable them to help the relatives of the missing to cope with the agonies of not knowing what has happened to their loved ones and will mean that they can help to make others more aware of what agony a missing relative can cause to families. It is interesting and revealing that some apparently cannot (or will not) empathise with those in that situation.

How many people run for charity every year in the UK ?

Why don't you mention the names of other people who are running for charity tomorrow, together with the amounts they have got in sponsorship ?

Yet again, you place these people on a pedestal.

Would they have been doing this run if events hadn't turned out this way ?

As to the disappearance of Madeleine , this topic has nothing to do with it. It is merely an attempt to gather support for Ms. Mccann.

How much money did Jimmy Saville raise for charity?  He was lauded during his lifetime for all his good work, wasn't he?  I admire anyone raising money for charity but it doesn't make them exempt from criticism, does it?

[C.Edwards]

I prefer to donate my money to those who are running for good causes and not using their ill-gained notoriety for promotional purposes, thanks.

[C.Edwards]

So- Missing People Charity is not a good cause in your view CEdwards?

Not when represented by someone personally responsible for causing a missing person, no.

Interesting view of cause and effect there which would apparently exonerate an abductor from blame.

Kate McCann is to be applauded for her efforts on behalf of missing children everywhere.

Can you not just say "WELL DONE" to Kate McCann for raising over £20K for a very good cause... or would it choke you?

Have you ever run 26 miles and raised over £20k for charity, C Edwards?

[registrar]

I say well done to Kate McCann

20k that weren't there before

and at what time did the average detractor - get out of bed that Sunday?

and how much money for worthy causes did they raise in the remainder of the day?

Answers on a very small postcard please

It's really getting up your nose that Kate McCann has raised over £20k for charity, isn't it? Can't you just be happy that Missing People have benefitted?

[gavdalf]

Its is very good that this has been done and really cannot be construed any other way, it is my personal opinion that this is where they should have instructed the donations to be sent, as opposed to setting up a ltd company.
