Staff at Amazon Milton Keynes donate cash to Supershoes by coming to work in their pyjamas

Amazon has donated £1,000 to child cancer charity Supershoes as part of its global Amazon Goes Gold campaign.

The donation coincided with Childhood Cancer Awareness Month - and was raised by staff coming to work in their pyjamas.

Supershoes is a volunteer-led organisation which gives a particular child or young person with a diagnosis of cancer a pair of shoes, hand-painted by a Super Artist to capture that child and all their favourite things.

Sarah White, from Supershoes, said: “It’s fantastic to see so many of the team at Amazon in Milton Keynes come to work in their pyjamas in support of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.

"I’d like to thank Shauli and the local team for raising awareness through #AmazonGoesGold and for providing us with a donation, which will be greatly appreciated by everyone at Supershoes.”

Shauli Ziv, general manager at the Milton Keynes Amazon fulfilment centre, said: “We’re incredibly proud to partner with Supershoes for Amazon Goes Gold.

"We want patients and kids everywhere affected by childhood cancer to imagine the future innovators in themselves. It’s an honour to make a difference for such an important cause that affects families around the world.”
