Geraldine McFaul set off from her doorstep in Balornock at the beginning of May and is due to arrive at her bucket list destination, Rome, on Saturday, November 4.
A Glasgow woman has almost reached the Italian capital after deciding to make the 2,000 mile walk from her home for two good causes.
She says: “I do feel a bit odd! I feel like it’s the final straight, but the same time I don’t want it to be over! I’m excited about getting to the finish line, so it’s a bit contradictory, really! “Getting over The Alps has been a highlight. That was a massive, massive thing. I felt a bit weird for three days afterwards because I was on the other side, and I never thought I’d get there!”.
She said: “At the start of this journey, I knew I could get up and go for a walk, but I had no idea I could live nomadically for this amount of time. I’m much more confident around people now. “We’re sure Geraldine’s adventure will encourage others to get active and fundraise and make a life-changing difference to little ones living in some of the world’s poorest countries.”
