Almost There

Gerry continued the hike over the next few weeks, covering the distance from New Hampshire and reaching Maine, which meant she was almost there, she was near the finish line. She met many hikers along the way. Everyone admired her bravery, that she had made it on her own so far and all alone. She would always mention the support she got from her family, and how it kept her going.
