The creation of a day dedicated to Madeleine is her parents' way of keeping her image alive to the public, the British newspaper reported. The McCanns also have approached "Harry Potter" author J.K. Rowling about distributing bookmarks featuring Madeleine's picture.

The McCanns have completed a series of appeals in several European cities and plan to travel to Morocco next week, where a girl matching Madeleine's description was seen recently . Both parents said they believe their daughter is still alive.
