This summer, an spree of shark attacks shook Fort Walton Beach, a tropical getaway in Florida.

Lulu Gribbin was among those who were attacked and injured by a shark with another teen, McCray Faust, also from Mountain Brook.

Lulu lost her left hand and right leg due to the severity of her injuries, but that didn’t stop her. Since the attack, Lulu has worked hard to recover and has made outstanding progress in rehab.

Support Lulu’s long-term Care

On Saturday, Mountain Brook hosted a homecoming parade to celebrate Lulu’s strength and resilience. She sat on a decorated golf cart and waved to the many who had prayed for her recovery.

Mountain Brook also lit up the City Hall Fountain purple to honor Lulu and her family.
