Daniel’s boxing clever for Breast Cancer Care
Daniel Krieger is getting set to make his debut in the boxing ring, when he dons a pair of gloves in aid of Breast Cancer Care.
The 27-year-old Edgware United Synagogue member (pictured) will be one of 20 people raising money on 19 March, and decided to take on the challenge following his mother’s diagnosis of breast cancer in 2007.
Wanting to support the charity and the work it does, he says: “Having completed my second Virgin London Marathon in 2014, I stated ‘never EVER again!’ but now, nearly a year on, I’ve taken on a new and somewhat more gruelling challenge.
“My mum was approached by one of the team at BCC to ask if she knew of anyone and I didn’t hesitate – even though I’d never stepped in a boxing ring before.”
Starting an eight-week intensive training course at the start of the year, he’s now in the best possible shape, as he gets set to fight a fellow team member of similar strength and sizing in front of a crowd of 500 people at The Clapham Grand.

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
