Newswise — Los Angeles, Calif. – July 19, 2013 – Steve Meichtry is one of the rare breeds of extreme athletes who enjoys testing the outer limits of distance endurance. When he discovered that he had an acoustic neuroma - a tumor on his left balance nerve that leads to the brain- he thought his cycling days were over.
What – After Steve Meichtry was successfully treated for his acoustic neuroma by Neurotologist Derald E. Brackmann, M.D., of the House Clinic and House Research Institute, Steve wanted to help others with acoustic neuromas by raising support for neural tumor research at the non-profit House Research Institute in Los Angeles, CA.
