ABOUT KURT
After losing his father to cancer in 2006, he’s 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. Learning to crochet in prison gave him a sense of purpose and newfound life skill to use for helping others.
He is 12 years in recovery to date.
In 2018 a friend requested a soft hat for her cousin who was battling cancer and thus 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 (Battle Kits).
To date, over 2000 Battle Caps and Battle Kits have been sent to over 22 countries and all 50 states.
He now works as a peer support specialist/supervisor in Madison, WI. Working with people that have mental health and substance use disorders.
He is a father to a wonderful and energetic (6 yr old) son, and married to an exceptional woman who is the love of his life.
