Michelle Mitchell: Celebrated Standing Up To Cancer at Cancer Research UK
Michelle Mitchell, Chief Executive of Cancer Research UK, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Last week we celebrated Standing Up To Cancer at Cancer Research UK (CRUK)!
Our head office was a hive of activity, from our first ever dog show, drenching senior members of staff, baking masterclasses to Ginger’s Big Drag Quiz – all in aid of funding life-saving translational research.
Every year we try to make Staff Week for SU2C bigger and better and every year I think we top the last. It’s a fantastic opportunity for colleagues to come together and support the campaign. Thank you to everyone who contributed to another amazing Staff Week.”
