Annual Golf Fundraising Event
As a lifelong friend to Stixy, I wanted to help continue his legacy and try and raise some money for the foundation.
Before he moved on to the professional game and after the football season was over, we used to spend a lot of our time golfing and so thought it would be the obvious thing to do, to set up a golf day.
​
We held our first event in 2022 and managed to get together 25 teams raising more that £5,000 which incredible, as it also brought back together a lot of Stixy’s old mates from his Non-League playing days.
​
Next year will be our 5th event, and having raised more than £24,000 so far we hope to break the £30,000 barrier .
Running for Success
In 2024 Peter Smith ran his first marathon at 60. He wanted to finish in under 4 hours and beat his target by completing the London Marathon in 3 hours 57 minutes and he raised a huge £4k for the Steve Talboys Foundation – what a great result all round.
One of the Dorking Wanderers Academy Coaches has agreed to run the Battersea Park Half Marathon on the 18th October 2025. He will be fundraising for the Steve Talboys Foundation - good luck for 18th October!
2023 Indoor Rowing Challenge
STF Trustee, Nigel Hall, is completing a rowing challenge to raise money for the charity during 2023. He intends to row one million metres during the year.
​
It would be great if you can support Nigel and make a donation or if you have joined in and challenged yourself please let us know!
Elsewhere within this site you can read about some of the good causes we have supported and look to support going forward.
The Surrey Trials
The last challenge completed on the 17th October, with 3 routes plotted for 50K, 100K and 160K through the Surrey countryside.
The intrepid Stixy Challenge participants all completed their course of choice and push themselves to new goals. Well done all!
London to Brighton Bike Ride
As soon as the first lot of restrictions were lifted Arlie Talboys and his friend Luis Callaghan decided to cycle from Claygate to Brighton to raise money for the charity. Steve was also a keen cyclist and Arlie wanted to continue to make sure his Dads bike got the mileage in that Steve was no longer able to do. They cycled 93 km in 3hr 55mins. They started raising money 24 hours prior to the cycle and raised £2434.20. The challenge continues.....
