Recently we were privileged to receive a nice donation from

Recently we were privileged to receive a nice donation from the Jelle van den Berg Foundation. This foundation was established in 2013, after Jelle died at the age of 18 in the mountains of Austria. Jelle's family was looking for a way to deal with the great loss in a positive way and established the foundation. Together with friends of Jelle, they spent 7 seasons organizing various activities to make snowsports accessible to vulnerable children. Now, 10 years later, the foundation has decided to finish the work and donate the available funds to foundations with the same goal. With our snowboard lessons and the Mentelity Games, we are doing exactly what the Jelle van den Berg Foundation was all about: giving vulnerable children the chance to play sports, so that they too can experience the positive contribution in terms of health and personal development. In addition, Jelle was a great admirer of Bibian, because of her positive mentality and because she made sure that snowboarding got the Olympic recognition it deserved. Thank you, Jelle van den Berg Foundation!💜

A physical challenge need not limit you

A physical challenge doesn't have to limit you from getting out into the snow! Para Snow Day is a day where everyone gets the chance to ski or snowboard once. A nice way to get acquainted with adapted winter sports. Together with other associations, the Bibian Mentel Foundation is committed to this day. Will you come and meet us? We look forward to seeing you on September 23 at SnowWorld Amsterdam!🤩 Check the link in our bio for more info.Photo: @juliusvh

MEET JAYLEY 💜 Every morning Jayley gets to choose her own

MEET JAYLEY 💜 Every morning Jayley gets to choose which leg she wants to wear: the 'normal' one or the JUMP. Almost always she says, "do me the jumper. That's what she calls him. Her twin sister Cyenna is also extremely happy that they can run and play together. Jayley is at least as fast and agile. And her sister sees that too. She even asked the other day, "Mommy, why don't I actually have a stump like that?". We are glad that we can guide Jayley in her process of getting the best out of herself.
