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.Alive + Well is run by the charismatic and dapper Simon Freedman, 38, who is acknowledged by his peers and the glossy magazines as the "oesteopath to the stars". Freedman went out on a limb to create this centre to spread his message further. And it's an innovative and fresh message about being proactive about protecting your health and avoiding illness. It's also enjoyable - when you go to Alive + Well, you'll find the blankets are made of cashmere and the walls decorated with art by clients Damien Hirst and Tracey Emin.
We asked Freedman to put the Prius through its paces - and he was impressed. Like Alive + Well, he thought the car was one step ahead, a car that would help him do his bit for the future and the environment. And as a father of three he loved the sense of space in a Prius, "It's so roomy - the boot too. I could happily get all my kids in here and there's plenty of leg room in the back. It all feels very safe." And as for the drive? "It's nippy and very responsive. It stays tight round the corners and pitches up exactly as you'd expect it to." There was also a final piece of good news: as an osteopath, he liked the well-designed seats, "These are very comfortable. I could happily spend hours sitting in these." And as he sat there in the car, he almost looked as relaxed as one of his aquarium's graceful fish.
