residents are digging deep to help a popular restaurateur in his battle with
cancer.
Kelley LeRose says her husband,
Bob, founded the first Bobby Q's in Westport back in 2004. Eight years later,
he was diagnosed with a rare form of soft tissue cancer.
It's been nearly
10 years since Bob LeRose's diagnosis. Kelley LeRose says he's remained
relentlessly positive throughout his treatment, even finding time to open Bobby
Q's restaurants in Greenwich and
Norwalk.
Kelley
LeRose says immunotherapy, physical therapy and 10 surgeries have been a
financial burden on the family.
That's why a few
of Bob LeRose's college buddies started a GoFundMe for the family Tuesday.
The campaign blew
past its $100,000 goal in less than a day.
Kelley LeRose says
her husband, who founded Westport's Blues, Views and BBQ Festival back in 2008,
has always been a community guy - now the community is giving back.
