Remember Lulu Gribbin? The Alabama teen who bravely faced a shark attack in Florida last year? Well, she's back and stronger than ever, sharing her incredible journey on Good Morning America! Lulu, now 15, recounted the terrifying moment near Seacrest Beach when a "big brown shadow" turned her beach trip into a fight for survival. The attack resulted in the loss of her left hand and right leg, but it didn't break her spirit. Lulu spent over two months at OrthoCarolina's Limb Loss Recovery Center, undergoing groundbreaking procedures. Doctors used advanced techniques to reassign nerve endings, even pioneering virtual reality therapy to combat phantom limb pain. Imagine seeing and "feeling" your hand again through a headset! Back home, Lulu refuses to be defined by her injuries. She's back on the golf course, rocking a prosthetic and custom attachment. But that's not all! She's also returned to slalom water skiing and even started running with a specialized prosthetic. Her sights are set high: Lulu hopes to compete in the Paralympics for track! "Why not?" she exclaimed on GMA, embracing her limitless potential. Inspired by her experience, Lulu is advocating for "Lulu's Law," a federal alert system modeled after Amber Alerts, to warn beachgoers of nearby shark attacks in real-time. The bill has already passed the Senate – fingers crossed for the House! She's also launching the Lulu Strong Foundation to expand access to cutting-edge treatments like the virtual reality therapy that helped her so much. The goal? To ensure other amputees benefit from similar innovations. Lulu credits her family and her faith for her incredible strength. "Anything is possible," she says, determined to show the world that miracles happen. Lulu’s story is a powerful reminder that even in the face of unimaginable adversity, the human spirit can triumph.
