Cincinnati, Ohio (October 21, 2008) — BioRx, a specialty pharmaceutical company, announces the availability of a free 2009 calendar to the hemophilia community. The annual BioRx Kids Hemophilia Calendar features artwork from children who either have a bleeding disorder or have a sibling or parent with a bleeding disorder.

To produce the calendar, BioRx sponsored a contest requiring entrants in three different age categories to submit artwork relating to their experiences in living with hemophilia. All contestants receive a prize and a copy of the calendar. Winning artwork is published in the calendar.

“We are proud to support the hemophilia community by providing children with an outlet to express their thoughts and feelings about living with hemophilia in their family,” said Eric Hill, co-founder of BioRx. “The winning entries this year express a level of creativity and compassion that is touching, and sometimes amusing.”

The 2009 Kids Hemophilia Calendar will be formally unveiled at the National Hemophilia Foundation Conference in Denver, Nov. 13-15. To receive a complimentary copy of the calendar, contact BioRx at 866.44.BIORX (866.442.4679), via email at info@biorx.net, or via BioRx’s website at www.biorx.net/calendarrequest.php

About Hemophilia
Hemophilia is an inherited bleeding disorder characterized by prolonged or spontaneous bleeding, especially into the muscles, joints, or internal organs. About 17,000 Americans have hemophilia. The disease is caused by deficient or defective blood coagulation proteins, known as factor VIII or IX. The most common form of the disease is hemophilia A, or classic hemophilia, in which the clotting factor VIII is either deficient or defective. Hemophilia B is characterized by deficient or defective factor IX.
