Instead, he has turned into a runner with a purpose: to raise $500,000 for pediatric cancer research with his charity, Strides Against Cancer. Kline, who decided to raise money for pediatric cancer research after meeting a 15-year-old cancer patient several years ago, began his 13-day, 481-mile trek on Dec. 20. He'll complete his run from from Dallas' Cotton Bowl Stadium to the Texas Children's Cancer Center in Houston on Friday. Along the way, he has stopped in Austin and San Antonio. Why did Kline choose such a huge undertaking during the holidays? It wasn't to key in on others' generosity.

Take, for instance, a few articles from just this past week we’ve published… Childhood cancer? Less likely to marry. Obese? Depression is more likely. Eat licorice while pregnant? Your child may have a smaller IQ. And my favorite from the past week? Eat candy as a child? You’re going to become a criminal. Researchers seem content to draw these correlations, knowing full well their data shed little light on the actual problem. Instead, what they manage to do is to shed a whole lot of brain cells. Ours. I’ll pick on the candy study because it’s low-lying fruit and it’s easy to make fun of. Let’s look at the da...
