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.Ross Hutchins has announced he is in remission from cancer.
The Great Britain Davis Cup player was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma in December and underwent six months of chemotherapy at the Royal Marsden Hospital.
Hutchins' last session was a month ago and he revealed the good news on Twitter this afternoon.
The 28-year-old wrote: "Was a big day today,met my Oncologist and I am now in remission :) So grateful to fantastic Professor Cunningham and his team royalmarsden
Hutchins' close friend Andy Murray hinted at the good news to come with a tweet earlier today that read: "Just got some of the best news I've heard in a long long time... Great start to the day! Back training properly today on hard courts"
Hutchins' doubles partner Colin Fleming, meanwhile, said he was "playing with a smile" as he prepared for his opening match at the ATP World Tour tournament in Atlanta.
Fleming has teamed up with last year's Wimbledon doubles champion Jonny Marray while Hutchins has been fighting the illness but today's news opens the way for the pair to resume their partnership.
Hutchins has set his sights on a return to tennis at the start of next season, although he has not been away from the sport entirely.
As well as doing media work, the Londoner organised last month's Rally Against Cancer to raise money for the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity.
The event, which saw Murray face his coach Ivan Lendl in an exhibition doubles match before playing tennis with celebrities, took place on the final day of the AEGON Championships at Queen's Club.
Murray donated his prize money of more than £70,000 to the cause after winning the title for a third time while the event's Just Giving page, which remains open, has raised almost £180,000.
