In addition to partnering with hospitals and research organisations around the world, Amazon also wraps a selection of its delivery fleet in gold ribbons during the month of September to further increase awareness across its network.
It’s fantastic to see how so many of the team at Amazon in Daventry went to work in their pyjamas in support of Childhood Cancer Awareness month.
We’d like to thank Gareth and the local team for raising awareness through #AmazonGoesGold and for providing us with a donation, which will be greatly appreciated by everyone on Disney ward at Northampton General Hospital.
While we’re all facing a global pandemic, more than 300,000 children will also be diagnosed with paediatric cancer this year, and it’s the number one non-communicable disease causing the death of children around the world.
“We’re incredibly proud to partner with Northampton General Hospital Disney Ward for Amazon Goes Gold,” said Gareth Davies, Site Leader at the Daventry Amazon fulfilment center.
“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.” This donation will support Northampton General Hospital Disney Ward in its mission to care for children with a wide range of illnesses.
