Richard Branson, Chairman of Virgin Airlines has begun a fund for the
parents of missing Madeleine McCann. The fund would help Kate and Gerry
McCann with the expenses associated with the ongoing legal issues. He has also, asked some of his friends to contribute the fund.
"If he can help a little bit to take the burden off the family and extended family in this small way, then that's all to the good," the spokesman said, speaking on condition of anonymity in line with Virgin practice.Branson had already contributed to a $2 million fund set up to help find Madeleine.
The family decided last week that it would not use the fund to cover legal costs for Madeleine's parents. Members of the extended family had discussed selling their homes to help the couple.
