⌊Converse shoe for Macmillan⌉Macmillan Cancer Support launches its Pin Up campaign
today to encourage the public to donate and show that they care for those affected
by cancer by wearing the new Macmillan green safety pin. The pin will help raise
funds and awareness of Macmillan.

The safety pin can be worn in many ways – on a mobile phone, from a charm bracelet,
jeans, trainers, handbag, cap or simply on a lapel.
