"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."
"The widow of rugby icon Doddie Weir is embarking on a formidable 750-mile cycling journey from the Scottish Borders to Dublin, aiming to raise vital funds for the motor neurone disease (MND) charity her late husband founded. Kathy Weir will join hundreds of other riders in the Doddie's Triple Crown 2026 challenge, supporting the My Name'5 Doddie Foundation. This gruelling endurance cycle, an annual event spearheaded by former Scotland captain Rob Wainwright, seeks to generate significant donations for research into MND."
The Independent solicits donations to keep reporters on the ground covering issues such as reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, and to avoid paywalls by relying on reader support. The outlet cites investigations into Elon Musk’s pro-Trump PAC and its documentary 'The A Word' as examples of work that parses facts from messaging. Kathy Weir, widow of rugby star Doddie Weir, plans to ride 750 miles from the Scottish Borders to Dublin in Doddie's Triple Crown 2026 to raise funds for the My Name'5 Doddie Foundation. The foundation funds research into motor neurone disease, established after Doddie's 2017 diagnosis; he died in 2022.
