Wouldn't it be great if you could roll out of bed and straight into work.

Well that was the case for workers at a Bolton-based business as they raised awareness of one of the most devastating conditions.

Amazon employees turned up to work in their pyjamas to raise money in the fight against childhood cancers.

The team at Amazon, based at Logistics North, have supported Royal Manchester Children's  Hospital since 2017.

All month they have been taking part in fundraising activities as part of its Amazon Goes Gold for Kids with Cancer campaign.

A gold ribbon is the universal symbol for childhood cancer and Amazon employees in Bolton held a month-long series of gold-themed events.

The Bolton team donated £500 to the charity arm of the hospital.

One of the events this year was a Pyjama Day, which saw the team wear pyjamas to work in honour of children who spend every day in their pyjamas during treatment.

The team also bought toys for Manchester Children’s Hospital worth £400 and delivered the toys in person.

The aim of Amazon’s Goes Gold campaign is to support kids impacted by cancer as part of the company’s commitment to have a meaningful impact in the communities it serves around the world.

Over 400,000 children across the globe will be diagnosed with cancer this year, and Amazon has an opportunity to make a difference for thousands of these children and their families by raising greater awareness and supporting the work being done in cancer research and front-line care.

Amazon Bolton General Manager, John Strydom, said: “Amazon has proudly supported Childhood Cancer Awareness month since 2017 and this year, we’re pleased to continue playing a part at Amazon in Bolton with our pyjama party and gold-themed events.

“We’re pleased to support the efforts of Manchester Children’s Hospital, an organisation that has a profound impact on children and families in our community.”

He said: “Everyone at Amazon in Bolton loved taking part in our gold-themed events to raise awareness of childhood cancer.

“I think it’s brilliant that we’re also able to support Manchester Children’s Hospital whose staff and volunteers do incredible work for families in our area.”

Amazon employees across the UK also had the opportunity to support children and families affected by childhood cancer by packing activity kits for children facing cancer, which were distributed to nearby hospitals and hospices.

Employees also took part in volunteering with childhood cancer charities and organisations and had the opportunity to write short stories for children spending time in hospital.
