Out  of respect for the privacy of Rob and his family please refrain from displaying this page,  information or details related to his health in any press publications .  Thank you.

This page is created by friends of Rob Long. Rob has spent 19 years as Principle of East Quogue Elementary, putting everything he knows into creating an incredible school experience and improving the lives of our kids. Being there for every family in the East Quogue, Hampton Bays and Westhampton Beach communities.  
As many of you already know within the last year Rob was diagnosed with Stage four Liver and Colon Cancer.  This illness is real and serious.    
As people who love and support him we know that the fight against Cancer, aggressive Cancer takes Heart, Prayers and Resources to win.   
There is conventional treatment that sometimes can deliver miracles.  There are other times where conventional medicine can only do so much.  
Today there are alternative options which in many cases have been Life changing and Lifesaving.  These approaches are not covered by Insurance.   A husband and father can be forced to make a choice between trying everything he can to keep up the fight and live and spending the money he believes his family will need   

As Rob’s friends we don’t want him to have to make that choice.   His energy should be and must be positive. Without doubt or hesitation.  He will need every bit of it.  He needs to come out swinging for the fences every day.  
How many times have we observed great people we know looking in every direction for options when all else has failed ?   We refuse to wait and give Cancer the time to take the upper hand.   
The time is now ! 
To run at this instead of running away.  
 
Help us give Rob every opportunity to win.

It’s our time to step up and be there for someone who is ALWAYS there for us. 
  Step up for Rob !
