PUBLIC FUND TO AID MADELEINE HUNT BBC News - Monday 14th May 2007.
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.
Map of resort
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...."

I've always been intrigued to know why the McCanns needed a fund to assist with the search and bringing Madeleine home safely when the case was being fully investigated by the PJ, apparently with the assistance of Leicester police. Perhaps months down the line or if and when an official investigation is shelved, then perhaps I could understand it, not however within days of a child's disappearance without a single indication of what may have happened to the missing child. I've also wondered if the general public were truly offering to hand over their hard earned cash in those very early days, or whether the establishment of the fund encouraged people to donate.
A fool and his money are easily parted, so they say but I for one wouldn't offer cash to support a crisis reported by the UK media without some total assurance that the case was genuine - even then I would still be reticent.
