Because women around the world fight breast cancer
every damn day, but many struggle to find the perfect
post-mastectomy sports bra once they return to their old fitness
routines, Athleta has designed a brand new bra to make women in recovery
or remission way more comfortable.

Known as the Empower bra ($54 at Athleta.com),
it features super-soft fabrics and a front zip that don't aggravate
sensitive scar tissue, expanding pockets to secure post-mastectomy
prosthetics, and adjustable straps to accommodate for variance in breast
size after surgery.

The new design will be officially released Sept.
25, just in time for Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October. And
because roughly 12 percent of women develop invasive breast cancer in
their lifetimes, according to BreastCancer.org, 12 percent of profits from Empower bras sold in October will be donated to Recovery On Water (ROW), a Chicago-based rowing club for breast cancer survivors.
If you haven't had a mastectomy but still want to support the cause, you can pick up the brand's Power of She bra available Aug. 28. Twelve percent of its profits will be donated to ROW too.

Then, dedicate your next workout to someone fighting breast cancer. Whether they're in the gym or not, they're strong AF.
