PhotoFormer top athlete Bibian Mantle (48) shines on this week’s cover Margarit. The snowboard star, who is suffering from cancer and was recently told she has expired, is the guest editor. In his preface he is as positive as ever. ‘There’s a chance I’ll do it Margarit Will not be able to read now. But you will not listen to my complaint, because complaining never resolves anything. ‘
In new Margarit, Which will be published today, will include Mantle’s mother. And Bibian’s big wish came true: her favorite photographer Anton Corbin made a portrait of her family, including husband Edwin, son Julian, and bonus daughters Laila and Annabella.
Although the three-time Paralympic snowboard champion was in charge of this version, the makers still surprised him. Her husband and sons have written columns, such as Humberto Tan and Peter Herschop.
In her preface Bibian writes that she continues to enjoy life, even now advising her to say goodbye to her loved ones. It is characterized by Mantle’s unbridled positive outlook, who received his first cancer diagnosis 21 years ago and saw the disease 15 times.

She enjoyed creating magazines with the help of her family and friends. “The result is a glimpse into my life,” she writes.
But it is much more than that, especially for his family. ‘A memory of me to my friends and my family, but hopefully also a good document about dealing with failures and love for life.’

Bibian was first diagnosed with bone cancer at the age of 27. Recently, metastases were found in her brain and doctors concluded that treatment is no longer possible. On Hamburto Tan’s talk show last week, he told the audience not to collect money or property, but memories.
“We take each day as a good moment,” Mantle said. “It sounds so cliche. I’m glad I didn’t get out of life overnight, but I have the chance to say all the last things you still want to say with my family and friends around me. So every day is now a gift. ”
Mantel will have her own special Cruy Court in De Hoogstraat rehabilitation of Utrecht, a place where she herself has been rehabilitated several times:
