Factor It Forward

Together we can FACTOR IT FORWARD™

The following is a paid public service announcement.
LA Kelley Communications always advises you
to be a savvy consumer when contacting any company; do not reveal personal
information (PI) or protected health information (PHI) carelessly or against
your will.
Every day, I’m reminded of how much I have to be thankful for. Like
the life-changing support I’ve had the privilege to both give and receive within
the hemophilia community.
As a parent personally touched by a
bleeding disorder, I’ve witnessed first-hand the power a strong support system
can provide.
This truly is a community that cares, and I’m proud to be a part
of it.
That’s why today, I’m excited to spread the word about a program that
embraces the spirit of this community—FACTOR IT FORWARD.
With FACTOR IT FORWARD, the people behind IXINITY® [coagulation
factor IX (recombinant)] have partnered with AmeriCares, a non-profit global
health organization, to donate IXINITY to people with hemophilia B who can’t
afford to be without it right here at home.
And it doesn’t end there. Visit www.factoritforward.com or read on to find out how you can help.
FACTOR IT FORWARD and help lead
the way
As part of their commitment to the hemophilia B community, the
makers of IXINITY will donate 10% of IXINITY used to nines who need it most
here in the U.S. That means:
For
every 10 units of IXINITY used, 1 unit is donated to those in need in the United
States.
So when you use IXINITY, you help
give back to the hemophilia B community.
You can try IXINITY for free to see how it works for you. With
your IXINITY FREE Trial, you’ll receive 1 month of treatment up to 20,000 IU. Learn more about the FREE Trial, download the FREE Trial Form, and talk to your doctor. 
Plus, there are even more ways to join in and help FACTOR IT
FORWARD in addition to using IXINITY.  
Get involved today, right now, when you take the giving quiz at www.FactorItForward.com. You’ll earn points that will contribute to
factor donations just by answering a few quick questions.
Or chat with an IXINITY rep
at a local chapter event and snap a
selfie with your giving pledge. Share the pic on your favorite social media
channel to get points just for posting.  
More points equal more factor donated, making it even easier for
everyone to do their part!
And since there’s no limit to the number of IUs donated, every IU
of IXINITY used and every point earned count toward that end goal: to leave no
nine behind.

doctor to find out how you can try IXINITY for free.

INDICATIONS AND IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
What is IXINITY®?
IXINITY [coagulation factor IX (recombinant)] is a medicine used
to replace clotting factor (factor IX) that is missing in adults and children
at least 12 years of age with hemophilia B. Hemophilia B is also called
congenital factor IX deficiency or Christmas disease. Hemophilia B is an
inherited bleeding disorder that prevents clotting. Your healthcare provider
may give you IXINITY to control and prevent bleeding episodes or when you have
surgery.
IXINITY is not indicated for induction of immune tolerance in
patients with hemophilia B.
