Balloons for Maddy

On Friday 22nd June Maddy McCann has been missing for 50 days. She was taken on 3rd May 2007 from her bed whilst on holiday with her parents in Praia Da Luz, Portugal.

She also missed her 4th birthday on 12th May. On Friday her parents hope to keep her case as high profile as possible so that there is more of a chance of finding her. To do this they aim to release balloons from at least 50 different countries. These balloons will all have a picture of Maddy on.

Madeleine’s father has a blog on http://bringmadeleinehome.com He has said that “We will be launching green and yellow balloons from at least 50 centres worldwide to mark the fact that we are still searching as are other parents of missing children. Countries that are participating so far are Argentina, El Salvador, USA, Canada, Ireland, UK, The Netherlands, Germany, Portugal, Spain, South Africa, Kenya, United Arab Emirates, Singapore, Australia and New Zealand. Any other countries that wish to participate can download information from the website.”

I downloaded the banner (to the right) from the website too, to add it to your blog or website just go to the site, or use this code:

Unfortunatly Maddy could be anywhere, a problem with the Portuguese police meant that the airports and seaports were not aware of Madeleine's dissapearance for 12 hours after it was reported. There have been sightings of Maddy in several different countries, this is why we the public need to make sure that as many people as possible will recognise Maddy's face, she could be anywhere. Keep the search for Maddy high profile, make sure everyone knows this little girl is missing.
