On March 13, 2015 Quinolone VigilanceFoundation (QVF) is having a fundraising event in Stafford, Virginia.

Bands set up at 7PM. Benefit will start after 8PM.

This event is dedicated to the memories of Bob Grozier and Chris Dannelly, who both tragically lost their lives after taking the fluoroquinolone antibiotics Cipro and Levaquin respectively, and will help Quinolone Vigilance Foundation continue our work in research, advocacy, and education. For more information about what we do, please visit us at www.SaferPills.org and on Health Cosmos.

Bob Grozier, 55, of Pennsylvania, died on June 11, 2014, 12 years after taking Cipro. His death certificate specifically notes his reaction to Cipro as a cause of death. Despite Bob's immense suffering for 12 long years, Bob never stopped raising awareness. QVF works closely with Bob's family so we can continue Bob's mission.

Displayed at the event will be photos of Bob and Chris, provided by their families, along with their stories. We will also display QVF awareness materials and educate the patrons about the dangers of fluoroquinolone antibiotics.

We are also displaying information about the death of Dick Decent of Def Leppard fame. In his own words he once wrote, " “I am too ill and in shock to post any more right now, but if you take anything away from this post, let it be an insistence on NOT TAKING ANY FLUOROQUINOLONE ANTIBIOTICS…. EVER… for ANY REASON.”
