The Story of Alex's Coupons on Evening Magazine Seattle - May 1, 2006

"Coupons help save Alex's life

Terrible luck also brought good luck. Josephine Cheng takes you on an amazing journey with 8-year-old Alex Martini."

Alex is my daughter and she was diagnosed with Leukemia at the age of 10 months old. This is her story and also the story of how I started Alex's Coupons (http://www.alexscoupons.com) to pay for her treatment.

There are a couple errors in the story. We do not make $600k-$900k each month. We've generated up to $900k in sales in a single month (12/05), but we're paid only a small percentage of that amount as commission. We are currently donating 10% of our profits or $1000, whichever is larger, to charity each month. If we ever do make $900k in a single month, we'll be making a very large donation to charity! 8-)
