Lizzie's Loot is a charity organization based out of Tucson, Arizona. It works in conjunction with the John P. Bell Family Foundation. Lizzie's Loot was established in 2003 〔Grossman, D.N. "Sick kids cruise hospital in wagon." http://wc.arizona.edu/papers/98/126/01_6.html〕 by Elizabeth "Lizzie" Bell and her family. Lizzie's Loot helps to organize blood drives, toy drives, and various other fundraisers. == Elizabeth Bell == Lizzie Bell, now 21 years old, was diagnosed with Diamond Blackfan Anemia when she was six weeks old. This disease causes the bone marrow to fail to produce enough red blood cells for the body.〔"Diamond Blackfan Anemia and You." http://www.diamondblackfananemia.com/whatisdiamondblackfan.html〕 DBA affects only 600 to 700 people worldwide〔Rowley, H. "Extreme Makeover Family head to NYC; demolition begins." http://www.ff-realty.com/news/login_register_now_its_free_my_tucsoncitizen_extreme_makeover_family_headed_nyc_demolition_prep〕 As a result, Lizzie requires blood transfusions twice a month to stay alive.〔"Meet Elizabeth "Lizzie" Bell". http://www.johnpbellfamilyfoundation.org/lizziesbio.pdf〕 These frequent transfusions require many trips to the hospital for Lizzie and her family. University Medical Center in Tucson is the site for many of these hospital visits. UMC is where the Lizzie's Loot Campaign began.
