Help for Heroes to hit £100 million mark
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.Armed Forces charity Help for Heroes is set to reach £100 million in public donations - just three and a half years after it was formed.
It is hoped its latest fundraising event - a bike ride through the battlefields of France - will push donations past the milestone.
More than 300 Help for Heroes supporters will begin the The Big Battlefield Bike Ride from Portsmouth later today, finishing the journey in Paris on Friday.
The charity was founded by Bryn and Emma Parry in October 2007 and has so far raised £98.07 million.
It has spent almost £90 million on various projects and is currently building five personal recovery centres for wounded servicemen across the UK.
Its patrons include Victoria Cross holder Johnson Beharry, television presenter Jeremy Clarkson, actor Ross Kemp and cricketer Sir Ian Botham.
