Edited OBE typo

[edit]

I've just corrected a typo and relevant link to Michelle's OBE - it said she was awarded one in 2006 when it should have said 2016 as per the references (which were correct). COI disclaimer: I work at CRUK - I hope these edits are taken as intended!

Salary

[edit]

Is it fair to talk about her Salary maybe? Many consider it to be controversial in the UK. As Cancer research CEO she earned £244,000 "between April 2019 and March 2020" according to Cancer Research's own website (https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-us/our-organisation/how-we-spend-your-money#:~:text=Our%20CEO's%20salary&text=Our%20CEO%2C%20Michelle%20Mitchell%2C%20was,a%20complex%20organisation%20to%20lead.) Many consider this to be an obscene amount of money and call into question where there donations are sent. A section on her salary would seem relevant to many considering they assume their donations are sent towards institutions who research cancer instead of paying their CEO 1/4 of a million pounds per year. It seems like we don't want to acknowledge that a huge sum of money is paid to their executive staff.
