This unique Calendar features hundreds
of generous hearted people depicted in overhead photographs. All the images
in the calendar have Madeleine in mind.
Over the months of organisation by local fund-raiser Julie Hancock hundreds
of people from Staffordshire have contributed their time and professions
FREE of charge in order to make the calendar a success. Photographer Joe
Clews based in Norton le Moors, AM Access lifts at Heron Cross, Walsall
Gala Synchronized Swimmers, locals at Baddeley Green WMC and Norton WMC
plus hundreds of children from local schools, St Marys, Moorpark School
and Year 5 of Norton Primary School, have all participated.
Volunteers from the Fire and Rescue Services and for those without mention
we wish to thank you also.
Fundraising started early in July. The donations
were given freely, from a young girl donating the contents of her piggy
bank to local businesses and a pamper evening organised by Julie at Norton
Working Men’s Club.
Local businesses attended the pamper evening with donations for raffles
and monetary donations for tables to sell their products at a reduced
rate. All funds raised went towards the printing of the calendar. The
calendars, printed by Rowtype Printers Milton, are on sale through this
site for a donation of £10 for two or £6.00 each.
All proceeds will go to the Madeleine McCann search fund.
Why this cause and not something else?
This cause is close to the heart of fund raiser Julie Hancock.
Based in Stoke on Trent Julie has been actively searching for Madeleine
McCann shortly after she had gone missing. A chance encounter with a young
girl on holiday, that Julie was convinced to be Madeleine McCann, has
left Julie with a need to help in the search somehow. Spending many hours
she has helped teams to keep Madeleine’s profile high emailing around
the world for months, as well as attending fundraising events in Liverpool,
organising various evenings in order to help fund the ongoing search for
Madeleine.
To this end the idea of a calendar was formed.
We hope that anyone who can will purchase a calendar for Madeleine.
As mentioned earlier, every single penny received will be donated to the
‘Madeleine McCann Search Fund’.
Thank You.
