contents In the present paper we show that the processes $X_n = \{X_n(t) \colon t \in [0,1]\}$, $n \in \mathbb{N}$, defined by $X_n(t) = \sqrt{n}C\int_0^t (-1)^{L(nu)} du$, where $L = \{L(t) \colon t \geq 0\}$ is a renewal processes whose inter-arrival times satisfy some integrability conditions and $C > 0$ is some normalizing constant, weakly converge, in the space of continuous functions over $[0,1]$, $\mathcal{C}([0,1])$, to the Brownian motion as $n$ approaches infinity. Thus, generalizing the result of D. W. Stroock (1982), where $L$ is taken to be a standard Poisson process. In particular, we see that these results are a mere consequence of Donsker's invariance principle.
