Many started praying the Rosary for Gracie Zaunbrecher at 7:30 a.m. this morning. Gracie has an inoperable brain tumor.

Her parents realized the illness when Gracie was having trouble keeping her balance on a gymnastics beam.

Gracie has become an important part of the LSU Gymnastics squad. Click HERE to read and watch a recent WBRZ report on Gracie and the team.
