Celebrities Endorse Micro Donations for the Bath Half Marathon

Micro donations are being provided by The Bath Half Marathon supporters. Fearne Cotton, UK radio and TV personality, is scheduled to run the Bath Half Marathon in March, with the aim of raising money for CoppaFeel, a breast cancer charity.

CoppaFeel is one of many cancer micro charity organizations that support education, awareness, and testing for the disease. Donations can be made online to encourage crowdfunding, the act of pooling small resources to make a big impact.

Cotton will compete in support of CoppaFeel, a charitable organization founded by 24 year-old Kristin Hallenga. Hallenga was misdiagnosed two times by doctors before learning that she had an advanced stage of breast cancer.

Cotton says about Kris: “She is one of the most inspirational and brave people I have ever met. Whilst fighting an incredibly brave battle of her own, Kris set about making it her mission to educate young women on the importance of checking their boobs regularly and knowing the signs and symptoms of breast cancer.”

Marathon Micro Donations

This year the Bath Half Marathon celebrates its 30th anniversary. It continues to be one of the most admired city center events throughout the UK. Last year that charity raised over £1.3 million ($2 million).

Nearly 100 people are expected to participate in the event on March 6. More information on micro donations can be found on the charity’s website.
