Ella Stensdotter is currently in the middle of an incredible journey - walking 1,000 miles from Helsingborg in Sweden to Celtic Park in Glasgow, all in support of Celtic FC Foundation.

Starting in the hometown of Henrik Larsson, her route takes her through five countries before she eventually reaches the Brother Walfrid statue at Celtic Park in October.

But this is about far more than the miles.

Ella decided to take on the challenge after a difficult period in her life, when walking became a way of rebuilding confidence in herself and regaining a sense of control.

What began as something deeply personal has since grown into an inspiring fundraising journey - driven by her love of Celtic, the club’s charitable roots, and a desire to give something back.

We caught up with Ella while she was making her way through England to talk about the highs and lows of life on the road, the kindness she’s encountered along the way, her connection with Celtic, and what it will mean when she finally walks those last few steps towards Celtic Park.
