After losing his father to cancer in 2006, Kurt Stapleton had been searching for a way to help others battling the disease.
After battling a substance use disorder for 10 years, he found his path to recovery while incarcerated. While
in prison he taught himself how to crochet and started donating hats and other items to church run programs.
In 2018 a friend requested a soft hat for her cousin who was battling cancer and thus the non-profit organization The Battle Cap Project took form. He had found his calling and decided to create this free service for anyone fighting cancer. With the suggestion from his wife, he decided to create care packages called Battle Kits.
To date, over 1027 Battle Caps and Battle Kits have been sent to over 22 countries and almost all 50 states. Use the links below to check out his mission or to donate yarn, handmade cards or items for the Battle Kits.
