MONDAY 14TH MAY 8AM MADDIE'S PARENTS MAKE A STATEMENT TO THE PRESS AND PUBLIC 'We Have To Believe Madeleine Is Safe' Madeleine McCann's parents have said they have to cling to the hope that their daughter is still alive. In a brief news conference this morning Gerry McCann told Sky News presenter Jeremy Thompson: "We've had excellent support to help us look forward and to channel everything into looking forwards. "Until we have concrete evidence to the contrary, we have to believe Madeleine is safe and well and being looked after." He added that the couple had taken "tremendous support" from the "warmth and spiritual outpouring" from all around the world. Kate McCann made it clear that they had no plans to return to the UK at the moment. Gerry confirmed that they have their own lawyers with them to relieve them of the burden of working out how best to use the offers of financial support to help in the search. "This has allowed us to concentrate on our own physical and mental wellbeing and that of our family," he said. Portuguese police searching for Madeleine have admitted they have no suspects - and not a single lead in the case. More than ten days after the four-year-old was kidnapped in the Algarve, the detective leading the search has said he has no idea where she is. It is another blow for Madeleine's parents, who have pledged to stay in Portugal until their daughter is found. On Saturday, Madeleine's birthday, Mr McCann reaffirmed his belief his daughter was still alive FIGHTING FUND A "fighting fund" to which members of the public can donate to help in the search for missing Madeleine McCann is being set up by her family's lawyers. The legal team, which has flown out to Portugal, will reveal details of the fund within the next few days. The lawyers will help with liaison and will not interfere with the inquiry, Madeleine's uncle John McCann has said. Rewards of £2.5m have been offered to anyone with information leading to the four-year-old's safe return. Madeleine, from Rothley, Leicestershire, disappeared from an apartment in the Algarve resort of Praia da Luz on 3 May. A spokesman for the International Family Law Group, the legal company helping the McCanns, said: "Gerry and Kate are very grateful for all the support and generous offers of help that they are receiving. "Details of how contributions can be made to help get Madeleine back to the safety of her own family will be made available in the next couple of days." The international number for Crime stoppers is +44 1883 731 336. People with information about Madeleine can call anonymously.
