Soon, you will compete on the world’s biggest stage. And we know many of you will do this during your period. But no one talks about it. We need you to talk about it. Why?

That’s why Knix is offering up to $1000 CAD for athletes to mention competing on their period, up to a limit of $2000 CAD per athlete.
