Kate McCann has written a rare and deeply personal column backing The Independent’s SafeCall campaign, reflecting on the moment her daughter Madeleine went missing and thanking readers for helping fund a new national lifeline for vulnerable young people.
The lives of Kate and Gerry McCann were forever changed when their three-year-old daughter Madeleine disappeared in the village of Praia da Luz on the southwestern tip of Portugal on 3 May 2007.
