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.

The men's race of the 2023 London Marathon was led by British Olympic champion Mo Farah.

This year's London Marathon is said to be his last in a stellar career both in road and track long-distance running.

Mr Farah is a four-time Olympic champion runner in the 5,000m and 6,000m track distances but in recent years has run in marathons.

The men’s race does not include world marathon record holder, Eliud Kipchoge, who ran in last week’s Boston Marathon.

The Somali-born British great revealed in 2022 that he was trafficked to the UK and forced into work as a child.
