Our hearts are heavy sharing that our friend Chris from Red Rabbit Tattoo—a beloved member of the Cotton Mill family—has just been diagnosed with a high grade glioma, a fast-growing, aggressive brain tumor.

Chris and his family have always been part of the creative spirit that made the Cotton Mill and River Arts District Artists, Asheville special. Now he needs the support of the same community that he helped build.

If you’re able, please consider contributing to his GoFundMe and sharing it with others. Every bit helps as he focuses on treatment and healing.

Let’s show Chris, Daisy, and Bianca Sky the strength of this community that has carried all of us through so much. Please follow his wife Daisy Chavers for updates on his condition. ❤️
