Strides Across Texas Media Coverage
(Updated: 1/6/09)

   
 

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

Kline finished his run on the steps of Texas Children’s Hospital where he was received by hundreds of cheering supporters including hospital staff, patients, families and fans. More than 50 Texas Children’s Cancer Center patients and survivors completed the last block of the run with Kline, who was also escorted into the Texas Medical Center by hundreds of Harley Davidson motorcycle riders.

Starting in Dallas on December 20, Kline ran up to 10 hours daily braving the wind, rain, cold and hills through Austin and San Antonio, finishing his journey in his hometown of Houston. Kline’s ambitious undertaking is the first of its kind in Texas and all proceeds benefit research and patient services at Texas Children’s Cancer Center. Donations are still being accepted at www.stridesacrosstexas.org.

Well known on the local radio scene, Kevin 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.

Kevin's ultramarthon journey across Texas has been reported on by the following media outlets:
