Track and field star Allyson Felix, 35, is looking out for mom-athletes who will be competing in the 2021 Tokyo Olympics this summer.
Felix launched “The Power of She Fund: Child Care Grants” to eliminate childcare costs for female athletes who are mothers and travel frequently for competitions, USA Today reported.
Funding for the grant program is provided by Felix’s sponsor, Gap’s Athleta and the Women’s Sports Foundation.
Felix says this foundation is important to her because she knows firsthand what it’s like to balance being an Olympic athlete and a mom.
