Lulu Gribbin describes the shark attack that changed her life during an interview with Michael Strahan on ‘Good Morning America’ on Sept. 17.
When Lulu Gribbin stepped onto a national stage this fall — sitting across from Michael Strahan and recounting the shark attack that changed her life — the country saw what her hometown had known for a year: her strength isn’t measured in what she lost, but in the hope she’s determined to give others. From inspiring Nick Saban on the golf course to leading conference audiences with a message of grace and resilience, Lulu has turned a moment of tragedy into a mission. And through the Lulu Strong Foundation, she’s channeling that spirit into something bigger: advancing prosthetic innovation and restoring independence for amputees around the world.
MISSION
