Stars of the BBC One series 'Any Dream Will Do' support Missing People

Stars of the hit BBC One series, ‘Any Dream Will Do�?attended an event in Essex on 3 June 2007 to raise money for the charity Missing People and the fighting fund for Madeleine McCann.

Three local mums organised the fundraiser to raise awareness of Madeleine’s disappearance and other missing children from the UK. Celebrity vocal coach Zoë Tyler, who is currently one of the judges on BBC’s Any Dream Will Do, along with friend Lynelle Lowing asked the help of another friend Natalie Sullivan to create an event to remember.

All proceeds for the event are going equally to 'Madeleine's Fund: Leaving No Stone Unturned Limited�?and ‘Missing People�? the new name for National Missing Persons Helpline.

Chief Executive of Missing People, Paul Tuohy said “It is wonderful to see celebrities and those touched by Madeleine’s disappearance extending their support for our charity and all missing people.

“Proceeds from the event will help us to continue our work finding 10 missing people every week. We wish to thanks everyone involved for making the event so successful.�?/P>

Other celebrities lending their support to the event included Emmerdale’s Verity Rushworth who attended and Geri Halliwell, Jason Donovan and Andrew Lloyd Webber who provided items for auction.

The highlight of the event came as hundreds of balloons with appeals for Madeleine and other missing children, provided by the charity Missing People, were set free together during the afternoon. 

Organiser Zoë Tyler says, “We wanted every penny raised by this event to support Madeleine and other missing children.  The support we have received from celebrities, local businesses, and members of the public has been amazing.�?/P>
