94 Years Old and Walking to Regina from Saskatoon

By Vanese M. Ferguson Apr 15, 2021 4:32 AM If you get home at the end of the day and think you’re too tired to go for a walk, give this some thought. Well-known Saskatoon resident Frank Atchison plans to walk 5 kilometres per day down Highway 11 from Saskatoon to Regina to raise money for the Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital Foundation and the Shriners Hospital for Children. And his planned arrival in Regina will coincide with his 95th birthday June 15th. Frank’s Walk will begin at the Masonic Temple Thursday morning. Well-wishers are welcome and organizers suggest there is plenty of space in the parking lot to see him off from your vehicle.

The soon-to-be 95-year-old plans to walk five kilometres a day raising money for Shriners Hospitals for Children and the Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital Foundation. “This is something that I’ve had in mind for a long time; I was just looking for the opportunity to do it,” Atchison told Gormley on Wednesday. “This virus that’s going around has really interrupted our fundraising methods that we usually do.” Atchison is to start his walk from the Masonic Temple in Saskatoon at 10 a.m., Thursday. It should take him about two months to get to Regina walking five kilometres a day.
