Supporters of a 14-year-old swimmer whoâs battling terminal bone cancer came out to show their love at a swim meet. Grace Bunke, affectionately known as âAmazing Graceâ to her loved ones, qualified for the state swim meet in Georgia, but her illness kept her home that day.
That didnât stop her fans from showing their support, though. They all held red umbrellas, adding lots of color to the stands in Amazing Graceâs honor. Why umbrellas? Theyâre a tribute to Graceâs favorite quote: âPrayer is asking for rain. Faith is bringing the umbrella.â
And when Grace couldnât make it to swim that day, Olympic silver medal swimmer Amanda Weir swam in her place. âI was so honored to be asked to swim for her today,â she says.
