Busters are a bust form that provide a solution to breast cancer survivors after mastectomy.  For too long, the only post-mastectomy options offered to breast cancer survivors have been heavy silicone  prosthetics or surgical reconstruction. At last, survivors themselves have stepped up to provide another option. Designed from the perspective of breast cancer survivors, Busters offer a comfortable and properly fitting accessory. Busters, made from hypoallergenic yarn, are lightweight, soft, machine washable and can be worn soon after surgery. Busters are created by hand, knit by a dedicated team of vetted artisans using a proprietary design pattern, to share with breast cancer survivors.

The Busters Project is not a charity – it is a breast cancer survivor’s support group.  Busters are offered as a personal gift from one survivor to another, and the project is strictly volunteer and not-for-profit. The Busters Project has now evolved into a  nationwide grassroots survivor’s movement with thousands of recipient/ members. Most of our recipients have joined us as co/sponsors to “pay forward” the costs for the next pairs sent out. Any surplus funds at the end of the year are donated to 50l © 3 breast cancer support programs.

We rely entirely on word-of-mouth to reach our recipients, so please help spread the word – it seems that  everybody knows someone who is a breast cancer survivor and would appreciate learning about Busters.
