The Madeleine Fund beginnings.

[Brietta]

IIRC....it was established it was kmcc

Not that I think it really matters  ... but for the record, where and when exactly was that established?

“We want a big event to raise awareness that she is still missing (...) It wouldn’t be a one-year anniversary, it will be sooner than that.” Gerry McCann, 3 weeks after Madeleine McCann was allegedly kidnapped - picture above taken 9 days after, at Our Lady of Luz church, at a mass for Madeleine, on her birth day, 12 May 2007.

Where is the proof that there was a bucket in the foyer of the Ocean club that the McCann's put there in the first few days of Madeleine going missing.

Yes they wanted to hold a Madeleine day,  as it was stated the media focus on Madeleine was dying down they wanted Madeleine to be remembered,  not that she had died but that she was still missing!!!

So are you trying to make out that they wanted a remembrance day because they knew Madeleine was dead?   It doesn't matter that they were planning something for the future,  it would have been cancelled obviously if Madeleine had been found.   They wanted to keep the media looking for Madeleine don't you get that?

I wonder why John McCann gave up his full time, well-paid job, so quickly after Maddie 'disappeared', despite having a mortgage, a wife and children to support?

How did he know Maddie wouldn't be found soon?

Erm, can you clarify that cite please xtina.  Because I cant find it.

The campaign has two nerve centres. One is in Praia da Luz. The other is the Glasgow sitting room of John McCann, 48, who is on indefinite leave from his job as a medical rep for the pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca. There he fields endless e-mails and telephone calls.

John McCann did not give up his full time job,  he went on indefinite leave and so he could have gone back at any time if Madeleine was found.

He didn't know if Madeleine would be found soon after he went on leave,  that is why he didn't give up his job.

All this diverts from the question,  where is the link to the bucket that you say was in front of the Ocean Club put there by the McCann's in the three days after Madeleine went missing?

Actually I have no problem with the concept of collection buckets for a good cause ... but nowhere can I find anything at all confirming the allegation made on this forum about such a bucket in the Ocean Club foyer.

In my opinion confirmation from a reputable source is required for the sake of accuracy.

obviously, there were two buckets ...I'm talking about the first one ....unfortunately has no date...

the megabucks one was started in just over a week ...so why your concern over the begging bucket...

so the begging bucket in the foyer must have kept them going.... till the money came rolling in ....


strange to call it a fighting fund .....who were they fighting lol..
