Kevin Kline runs for a cause – Texas Children’s Cancer Center.

Kevin Kline, local morning radio host on The New 93Q and a resident of Sugar Land, will run a nearly 500 mile solo ultramarathon across the state of Texas in 13 days to raise funds for Texas Children’s Cancer Center.

Beginning in Dallas on December 20, Kline will spend his holiday running up to 10 hours daily, braving the wind, rain, cold and hills through Austin and San Antonio, ending his journey in Houston on the steps of Texas Children’s Hospital on January 1, 2010. Kline’s ambitious undertaking is the first of its kind in the state of Texas, and all proceeds raised will benefit research and patient services at Texas Children’s Cancer Center. Donations can be made at www.stridesacrosstexas.org.

He will start his 13-day odyssey across the Texas landscape from the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, where he will be cheered on by Texas Children’s Cancer Center patients, families and hospital supporters. Through his run, Kline hopes to create more awareness about pediatric cancer throughout Texas, and to remind communities that each one of us can make a difference and create hope for a child with cancer.

Kline is the president and founder of Snowdrop Foundation, which raises money for Texas Children’s Cancer Center. Foundation funding supports the center’s cutting edge work in pediatric cancer research, provides twice annual weekend excursions for patients, and awards college scholarships to pediatric cancer patients and childhood cancer survivors.

All donations made to Strides Across Texas benefit Texas Children’s Cancer Center, the largest pediatric cancer and hematology research and treatment center in the country.
