My story

While witnessing Kate train for the London Marathon on behalf of the charity Missing People, I decided maybe I could set myself a challenge and help in some way too. It didn't take Kate long to organise my entry for the Virgin London Triathlon!!

Although a pretty onerous event, it's a challenge which I know will be far less than that of being a parent of a missing child. The charity, Missing People, works incredibly hard to help missing children and adults and to support their families - a lifeline for many in this nightmarish situation.

By participating in the London Triathlon I hope to play a part in helping the charity and the valuable work it does. I am very grateful for your sponsorship which will make a big difference to those who are missing and their families living this painful limbo.

Thank you very much for your support.

What exactly is unusual about someone doing a charity run ?


Is it because it's a mccann ?

He's the father of a missing child raising money for Missing People.
 
What's the harm in mentioning it for those who may wish to sponsor him?

Don't overload him with information, Carana

Do you realize how pathetic your adoration of the mccanns has become ?

All this on the back of two parents whose daughter 'disappeared' because of their stupidity.

You could not make this up.

I think YOUR the one obsessed by the McCann's Stephen.   

This discussion forum is about Missing Madeleine,   it is very difficult not to bring the parents into the discussion because Madeleine was their child.

Every time someone says the McCann's didn't do this or that with relevance to the case,  you pipe up about us adoring the McCann's.

it is getting quite tiresome.

Why do you keep on using this "adoration" business, Stephen?  What's wrong with people wanting to sponsor Gerry McCann as he tries to raise money for a very good cause?

I do not "adore" Kate and Gerry McCann - I do not know them and have never met them.  I will however, be a hammer against the hate campaign that has been waged against them.

I will also sponsor Gerry McCann for a very noble gesture in trying to raise money for this very good cause.

Of course you are obsessed with supporting the Mccanns. That's why you're on here.

Why don't you sponsor other charity runners instead ?

How do you know I don't?

The fact that Gerry McCann has been mentioned on here is because he is the father of Madeleine,  the child we are discussing.

He is doing a run to raise money for missing children,   and all you can do is accuse people of adoring the McCann's because they support him.

Very childish in my opinion.

There is a saying, action speaks louder than words.

You and others have put the mccanns on a pedestal which they clearly don't deserve or warrant.

This topic has nothing at all to do with Madeleine, it is simply an attempt at glorification of the Mccanns.

The green-eyed monster has certainly go you, Stephen!

'Action speaks louder than words'   yes and Gerry is taking action isn't he?

Stephen,  how is supporting someone doing a charity run putting them on a pedestal?

Gerry is Madeleine's father,  don't forget.   Glorification of the McCann's  dear dear,  what is it with you and the McCann's?
