Foundation ‘Topsport met zonder Handicap’

TopsportMetZonderHandicap - logo zwartMarije Smits is the founder of ‘Topsport met zonder Handicap’ (TmzH) (Topsport with without Handicap). She is a former paralympic athlete – long jump and 100 meter sprint. In 2008, during the paralympics in Bejing she launches her own foundation. It is dedicated to sports talents with physical disabilities. With the (financial) support the athletes can get the decisive push to the top.

In this time of recession and a lot of other (ex) athletes with their own foundations, it is difficult to raise money for TmzH. Beside these developments, the board is also local orientated. Therefor the board of the foundation is wondering: “what will be our future?”

Together with the senior manager Jordi de Vreede of a business associate ‘Rijnconsult’ and on behalf of my company Hoogheemraadschap Hollands Noorderkwartier, I am going to advice the foundation TmzH about their future. A great foundation and a great opportunity!
