Many of you know me through North Devon Soap but today I’m writing as a Father.
Last June, our daughter Charlotte was diagnosed with the rare salivary gland cancer Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma. Like any family facing a diagnosis like this, our lives changed overnight. Throughout everything, Charlotte has shown incredible strength, courage and determination. She continues to inspire us every single day.
The support we’ve received from our customers, friends and the wider community has been overwhelming and I honestly can’t thank you enough.
I’m asking for your help once again.
On Saturday 5th September, the fantastic Soul Connection will be performing a special fundraising concert at the Parabola Arts Centre in Cheltenham to help raise funds towards Charlotte’s treatment.
If you’re able to come along, it would mean the world to our family. Every ticket sold is another show of support for Charlotte and another step towards helping her through this journey.

If you can’t attend, I’d be incredibly grateful if you could share this post. Every share gives us the chance to reach someone else who might be able to join us.

From all of us at Fifty Crates of Crafts and from our family, thank you for every message, every kind word and every bit of support you’ve shown Charlotte. It has meant more than you’ll ever know.
I hope to see some of you there.
Andrew Cross ❤️
