Love That Bob...Don't Love that tumor!

UPDATE AUGUST 28, 2020
It saddens me to share that Bob passed away last night...right before midnight.  He was able to hear the rehearsal of his play reading but he was only with us in spirit for the reading today.

Thanks to your generosity, Molly will be not have to worry about some imminent expenses.

Bob was a man of many talents and much love.  I am grateful to have been in his circle of friends and that I was able to be a part of his play reading.

With Gratitude,
Rhonda

UPDATE AUGUST 24i
Bob's tumor is exceedingly aggressive.  Molly, Mia and Simon have taken Bob home where he is in the care of hospice and his loving family.

Many  have asked what you can do beyond the GoFundMe donations, in order to support Bob, Molly Conole, Mia Dutton and Simon Dutton during this time of transition. Here is something you can do immediately! We all know of Bob's love of musical theater...please videotape yourself singing a piece from your favorite musical theater song (if you can't sing you can speak it or possibly lip sync...feel free to riff on this idea) you can also include loving messages. Then email your video to me at [email redacted].  Please ensure your video clip is no more than a minute.  

We are also pulling together a reading of a musical Bob's been working on called The Ivory Door.  The reading will take place this Friday.  If you're interested in being a part of the reading or being in the audience please let me know via the email address above.  The reading will take place this Friday, August 28th at 10am.

I wish the news about Bob was better however my spirits are lifted due to the outpouring of love I'm seeing towards this amazing, loving family.


July 27, 2020 UPDATE!!!
Thanks so much to all of the Bob and Molly's Friends and Family who have helped us exceed our goal!!!  Bob and Molly have a long road ahead of them but we can know in our hearts that we've eased some of the burden by assisting with their ever mounting expenses.  It truly does take a village.  It's also true that likes attract...look at all the loving, generous, kind people that Bob and Molly have attracted!

July 17, 2020 UPDATE:  OMG!!!  Because of Bob and Molly's Village we have met our last goal!  I've increased the goal to help cover medications, trips to Boston for continued care and rehab.  THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Let's keep the momentum going.

UPDATE: I changed the amount as the new goal will cover their "out of pocket" max from their insurance.   They still need to pay normal living bills and any other out of pocket expenses so please let's keep the ball rolling and the donation amounts climbing!!!

Hello!  I have know Bob Dutton since our days at Emerson College.  We were (and are) musical theater geeks.  Bob and I reconnected when he moved to Orlando.  That's when I got to meet and work with his gal, the incredible Molly Conole.  

Bob and Molly are facing the toughest test of their lives.  Bob has been diagnosed with a high grade glioma, which is a very aggressive brain cancer.  Although they have medical insurance there are deductibles and so many out of pocket expenses so they need our help.

I know during this global pandemic that many of us are out of work and struggling.  If you can't donate, please send your love to Molly and Bob.  If you can donate, even a dollar,  you will help ease the financial burden during this time when they need to be focused on Bob's quality of life.

Thanks so much!
