Don Stevenson, Auburn’s ultra-marathon walker, completed a local 300-mile journey on Thursday to help raise money for the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.

The 81-year-old Pacin’ Parson’s latest walk began in Oct. 3, from the steps of Auburn’s City Hall.

Stevenson is in the planning stages to do a benefit walk next year for the Wounded Warriors Project.

“So far, I’m hoping to complete 3,000 miles for all those honorable and heroic soldiers,” Stevenson said. “When my charity walks are over, I plan to get serious about writing and ministering to the sick and spiritually needy. I don’t ever plan on retiring, though. That will come when I through with my work here on this planet.”

Stevenson, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and retired pastor, teacher, truck driver and firefighter, has walked more than 60,000 miles to raise awareness and funds for many charities since 1998.

He has covered 7,600 miles for Alzheimer’s; 20,000 miles for Multiple Sclerosis; 13,000 miles for Huntington’s disease; 2,400 miles for the American Cancer Society; climbed Mount Rainier for the American Lung Association; walked 730 miles for Spina Bifida; and 2,086 miles for blind and special needs kids.

Stevenson most recently finished two 1,000-mile walks and a 500-mile trek in Washington state for the Pulmonary Hypertension Association (PHA),

He made national news when he began a 3,000-mile journey from Auburn to the PHA headquarters in Silver Spring, Md., in 2015, just shy of his 80th birthday.
