The London Bikeathon is London's largest annual charity cycling event with 5,000 riders taking part in 2012. The event first took place in 1997 and has been held every year since. The ride is the flagship fundraising event of the UK charity Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research who fund scientific research focused on finding causes and improving diagnosis and treatment for blood cancer patients. ==Origins== The event was founded in 1997 on the suggestion of Tony Carter, a volunteer at Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research's Woking Branch, who had been inspired by the success of the London Marathon and wanted to replicate the concept with cycling to help raise money for the charity. Set over a largely flat course, the original London Bikeathon had two routes, of 13 and 26 miles, both starting and finishing in Battersea Park. The event took months of planning with Gary Lineker heavily involved and later becoming the event's official patron.〔Leukaemia Research News, Vol. 43, No. 2. p. 6. Retrieved 13 August 2013〕 Lineker was also among the riders who took part in the 2003 event.
