Despite his weakening condition, Eric Dane recently appeared before U.S. lawmakers to advocate for ALS awareness and research. His speech, marked by slurred words but fierce determination, moved everyone in the room.
“It takes too long for people to be diagnosed,” he said. “I have two daughters. I wanna see them graduate college, get married, maybe have grandkids. I’m gonna fight until my last breath.”
Joined by California Congressman Eric Swalwell, Dane urged Congress to renew the Act for ALS — a bill that funds treatment access and accelerates research toward a cure.
Following the meeting, clips of the emotional exchange went viral, leaving fans heartbroken. Many commented on how quickly the disease has progressed since his diagnosis earlier this year.
“He’s declining so fast — this breaks my heart,” one fan wrote.
“I don’t want to lose him,” another shared.
@swalwelleric It was an honor to meet with @iamalsorg and my friend @realericdane to discuss the urgent need for progress in the fight against ALS. From investing in innovative treatments to ensuring access to quality care, we must do more to support patients, families, and researchers.
Even as his voice weakens, Dane’s message grows louder: “We need the fastest path to a cure.”
Surrounded by love from his family and fans, Eric Dane continues to fight — with grace, grit, and unwavering courage.
