Editor's note

Clive Mooney and Michael Anderson are temporarily trading their running shoes for the "Big Ride For Little Hearts" cycle from Melbourne to Sydney this September to raise $50,000 for HeartKids Australia. The 9 day, 1017km cycle will take them from Federation Square to the Sydney Opera House. HeartKids Australia support children with Childhood Heart Disease and their families.

The group of dedicated cyclists are hosting a comedy night on August 8 at The Comedy Store, Moore Park, to assist with fundraising for HeartKids. They promise it will be an entertaining evening!

Have a great running month!
