In memory of Chayse

Cycle from London to Paris · 23 July 2025

The Chayse West Legacy was set up by John and Leah West after the loss of their 18 year old son, who died as a result of a hit and run in September 2023. They identified there was not much help, financially for bereaved parents/carers of young adults and aim to provide grants allowing them to grieve

Story

Jon and Kirk are taking on a gruelling task of cycling from London to Paris in order to raise as much as they can for The Chayse West Legacy.

Day 1 They leave London on 23rd July and cycle down to Dover where they will catch the Ferry to cross the Channel. Approx 80 miles

Day 2 The next morning set off from Dunkirk to Cambrai. Approx 102 miles

Day 3 is Cambrai to Soissons. Approx 73 miles

Day 4 is Soissons to Paris. Approx 80 miles

We take on these kinds of challenges to try to match our grief with the physical pain, to, for a split second feel something other than numb. To raise awareness that more needs to be done, to help other people/families and to keep our boys name alive. Once in a while we have some amazing friends join us on our crazy adventures, enduring for reasons known to them. Their support means everything to us and so does every donation given. It smooths off the raw rough edges of grief and enables us to pass on kindness that was shown to us.
