An NHS worker has climbed to the base camp of Mount Everest for charity.
Gemma Graham, of Whiteness, reached her destination on Monday.
So far she has raised £4,546 for Help for Heroes and NHS Shetland’s mental health department.
In a Facebook post published on Wednesday, she wrote: “We haven’t had a chance to celebrate because we’re still torturing ourselves walking back down.
“I really feel like I’ve got nothing left in the tank. I used it all to get me there and back down again. We walked 18k yesterday, 13 today and [will do] 20 tomorrow.
“Final push tomorrow! I’d really like to hit £5,000 before my page shuts so please keep spreading the word.”
Ms Graham began her ascent on Monday 19th March.
