Madeleine McCann's dad in race to aid families missing loved ones
MADELEINE McCann’s father Gerry completed a gruelling race yesterday in aid of a charity that helps families of missing people.
The doctor, whose daughter was three when she disappeared in Portugal in May 2007, completed the Virgin Active London Triathlon.
Gerry, 45, of Rothley, Leicestershire, finished the Olympics-standard swim, cycle ride and run in an impressive time of under two-and-a-half hours.
“It was incredibly hard,” he said. “Huge thanks to everyone who sponsored me. Every step, push and stroke I did was to help the families of missing people.”
