Abstract:
One Paycheck at a Time, Inc., www.OnePaycheckataTime.com, a California company, will donate 10% of its 2005 net income to PXE International, www.pxe.org, in the hopes of finding a cure for the rare genetic disorder, Pseudoxanthoma Elasticum (PXE).
San Diego, California – February 1, 2005 - One Paycheck at a Time, Inc. announced today its commitment to PXE International in finding a cure for the rare genetic condition, Pseudoxanthoma Elasticum (PXE). By donating 10% of its 2005 net income, and 100% of its affiliate commissions through the website’s shopping resources, One Paycheck at a Time will assist in funding the important medical research that is underway.
PXE International set out last summer to raise $300,000 for a clinical study to be conducted at the National Institute of Health (NIH). Through the PXE International Capital Campaign, the organization has successfully raised $250,000. However, it is short $50,000 to kickoff the program and will need to raise an ongoing $100,000 per year in order to take advantage of this research opportunity. “This research will allow us to better understand the condition, hopefully find a cure, and assist in the production of materials to educate clinicians about PXE,” states Executive Director of PXE International, Sharon Terry, “We are optimistic that companies, such as One Paycheck at a Time, who offer the commitment to donate part of their annual profits, will ensure that the program is funded for success.”
Pseudoxanthoma elasticum, PXE, is an inherited disorder that is caused by a cell defect in the body. Because of this unknown defect, elastic tissue in certain areas of the body becomes mineralized. People have this disease experience:
- skin texture abnormalities
- vision problems, often causing blindness
- cardiovascular system challenges
- gastrointestinal system problems
“It is my paramount goal to offer people a sensible approach to get out of debt with the One Paycheck at a Time book and eTools program,” states President and Author of One Paycheck at a Time, Kimberly A. Griffiths, who is affected by PXE. She continues, “Each day, I find tremendous satisfaction in knowing that the One Paycheck at a Time products are having a positive influence in peoples’ lives. Nothing would please me more to contribute part of the product profits to the important medical research that PXE International is pursuing.”
