Mountain Brook teenager Lulu Gribbin who was attacked by a shark two weeks ago in Florida has been receiving very special videos of support from athletes, coaches, and celebrities all around the country.
From Caitlin Clark to Eli Manning to Nate Oats, all videos have been documented on the Instagram account Lulu Strong and can all be viewed here.
But one came from the greatest to ever do it, now former Alabama head coach Nick Saban.
“Lulu, Miss Terry and I are certainly wishing for your very speedy recovery,” Saban said. “We know you’re a fighter, we know that you’re going to prevail through all of this. “I want you to know that there are many, many people out there that are praying for your speedy recovery. So God Bless and Roll Tide”
Current Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer also made a video and invited Lulu to visit the facility once she gets well.
“Please add myself and our entire team and coaching staff to the list of people that are thinking about you and praying for you,” DeBoer said. “I want to have you continue to keep fighting and when you get through it I’m really looking forward to meeting you and having you up here. Keep fighting and we’re all thinking about you!
