As the second
anniversary of Madeleine's abduction approaches, there is much still to
be done. We continue to remain
focussed on our aim - to
find Madeleine and bring her back home safely. As Madeleine's parents
we cannot and will not ever
stop doing all we can to
find her.
The search
for Madeleine continues with the same strength and determination, and
thankfully, there are many people
who are continuing to
help in a variety of ways. The reduction in media reporting does not
signify a lack of effort - far
from it! If anything,
the search for Madeleine goes on with renewed vigour and great
experience. We have quietly and persistently
been working very hard -
exploring all possible avenues in order to get that key piece of
information. Someone somewhere knows
where Madeleine is.
It is
impossible for us to ignore the day to day heartache of missing
Madeleine but there is however, a very important
and positive fact that
remains.... In spite of all the investigative work done, there is still
absolutely nothing to suggest
harm to Madeleine and
therefore, a very real likelihood that Madeleine is alive and well. You
only have to recall the cases
of Elizabeth Smart,
Shawn Hornbeck and Natascha Kampusch to appreciate that children can
seem to disappear 'off the radar'
for very long periods of
time. The return of these children to their families not only gives us
great hope but also starkly
emphasises that
perseverance is essential, and surely what every such child deserves.
It is vital that we never, ever give up on Madeleine.
Can you
imagine a little girl or boy out there, hoping and waiting to be found
but for people then to 'write them
off', forget about them,
just because there's been no 'news'? For that child never to be
reunited with their family because
everyone had given up on
them? Just imagine............................
And so, we will never, ever give up.
We urge you to remember Madeleine as a real, living and findable little girl.
Our most sincere thanks go everyone who is helping us in our efforts. You know why we must keep going.
Please don't give up on Madeleine.
