Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Liz McColgan has shaken off a virus in time to pursue the Great Caledonian run title in Edinburgh tomorrow.
McColgan won in her debut race two years ago and the 10-kilometre event will probably be her last race before her next target, the Tokyo Marathon, on 30 November.
The 1991 10,000 metres world champion ran a personal best 10-mile time of exactly 52min when winning the Great South Run a fortnight earlier, despite suffering from a virus, which was diagnosed as fluid behind the ear.
Now she is aiming to finish with a victory before she leaves for her training base in Gainesville, Florida, on Thursday.
McColgan said: "After Sunday's race my sights will be firmly set on Tokyo and next year's London Marathon."
