Bob LeRose, the founder of the former Main Street barbecue joint Bobby Q’s, has been undergoing treatments for cancer since 2012. Despite being given just two years to live, LeRose has continued to fight for his life - and even continued to run Bobby Q’s and the Blues, Views, and Barbecue festival in Downtown Westport, “Often times this was done from the confines of a hospital bed or wheelchair.” his campaign stated.

LeRose’s family and friends have started a GoFundMe to help support LeRose and his treatments - like physical and occupational therapies, and weekly immunotherapy and blood transfusions. “Defying the odds and getting to this point has been nothing short of a heroic effort by Bob and his family. It’s time for the next round of heroes to step up” the campaign concluded.
