TUCSON - Lizzie Bell, a young girl profiled on Kristi's Kids in the past for her inspirational efforts, is now getting into the coffee business to help raise money for children in need of blood and marrow donations.

Team Lizzie Bell is offering freshly-roasted coffee from the Gariola Coffee Company in Rio Rico, Arizona, with every penny raised going to help kids in desperate need of blood and marrow donations, and to raise awareness.

The coffee, which comes direct from the growers on the mountains of Mexico, comes in three varieties: Medium Roast, Dark Roast, and Lizzie's favorite: French Vanilla. Lizzie says that she started drinking coffee when she was five years old to help counteract the effects of her medicine.

Team Lizzie will also be hosting several blood and bone marrow drives this month where can also register for the National Marrow Registry. Here's when and where they are:
