Visvaldas Michael Balas, A proud member of Cleveland’s Lithuanian American community, is facing a significant medical challenge and needs help for his first round of treatment and medication. Michael has many friends in the personal computer industry featuring a deep history with Apple technology especially in the field of video editing. He is a dear friend and mentor who helped launch my career in film/video. I am hoping that by reaching out on his behalf his many years of friends will step up to assist.
