Backstretch Bar & Grill hosts cancer benefit for regular A quest to "Mend Ken" and last updated 2021-07-11 23:21:35-04 LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18) â On a hot Sunday afternoon, a large crowd of patrons cooled down by drinking beer and listening to music at the Backstretch Bar & Grill, as they partied for a good cause. One of the people in the crowd was Kenneth Sowers, who was the face of the party. The event was organized to raise money for Sowers, who was diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma, a rare form of cancer that attacks the bile ducts. His wife, Tammy, was one of the organizers of the event Sunday. The fundraiser, called "Mend Ken," included a silent auction, a cornhole tournament, and plenty of food and drinks.
