Lulu Gribbins

Founder, Lulu Strong Foundation

Lulu Gribbin is a courageous young woman who faced a life-altering shark attack at just 15 years old. While swimming on the gulf coast of Florida with her friends, Lulu lost her left hand and her right leg in this tragic event.

After the attack, Lulu spent months undergoing multiple surgeries to survive the attack and get back to her new reality. Throughout her recovery, she remained positive, always expressing gratitude to the men and women that saved her life.

Through excellent medical staff and professionals after 3 months Lulu was able to walk out of the hospital with a prosthetic leg and arm. Despite these severe injuries Lulu has shown remarkable resilience and bravery. She has faced so much adversity and has done so with grit, determination, and grace.

Lulu has taken her experience and has turned it into a mission to help others in need and has started the Lulu Strong Foundation.
