Geraldine McFaul was shocked when she was granted a private audience with the Pope in Rome.
A woman who walked from Glasgow to Rome has said it was "lovely and surreal" to have a surprise meeting with the Pope after her six-month fundraising trek.
"The Pope was brought to us on his wheelchair and I shook his hand and gifted him a copy of the book The Shed That Fed 2 Million Children, the Mary's Meals story. He smiled and nodded, a fleeting moment but one I will never forget." "The tears flowed then too, and continued as one by one I saw and hugged my friends who were waiting for me.
"Three of them walked with me the last few miles too, which was lovely to have their company as I reached the finish line." Dementia UK is a specialist nursing charity that supports whole families.
