E-Bike Tour Across America for the Merkin PNNR Center

Join the Ride. Fuel the Mission.

After years of limited mobility, Dr. Gregory Maassen—founder of E-Bike Lovers and a neuropathy patient—discovered that movement truly is the best medicine. His journey from patient to advocate is a powerful testament to resilience, innovation, and hope for the millions living with peripheral neuropathy.

In March 2026, Gregory will embark on his second cross-country e-bike ride: a 5,800-mile adventure from Palm Beach to Los Angeles. Each mile will raise awareness and support for the Johns Hopkins Merkin Peripheral Neuropathy and Nerve Regeneration (PNNR) Center, where researchers are unlocking new ways to diagnose, treat, and ultimately reverse nerve damage.

Your gift powers discovery. By giving today, you’ll help accelerate groundbreaking research into the causes and progression of neuropathy, and fuel the development of innovative therapies to restore nerve function and improve lives around the world.
