I want to see them, you know, graduate college, and get married and maybe have grandkids. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You know, I want to be there for all that. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So, I&#8217;m going to fight to the last breath on this one.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Euphoria star&#8217;s latest comments came in a meeting in Washington, DC, alongside members of non-profit organisation I AM ALS. <\/p>\n<p>\nDane is backing ACT for ALS, which aims to accelerate the development of treatments for ALS and other rare neurodegenerative diseases.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe added in the video: &#8220;ALS is the last thing they want to diagnose anybody with.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;So often, it takes all this time for these people to be diagnosed, well, then it precludes them from being a part of these clinical trials.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;That&#8217;s why ACT for ALS is so great, because it broadens the access for everybody.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nLast week, Rebecca said Eric and his family are focusing on professional support as they navigate life following his ALS diagnosis. <\/p>\n<p>\nShe explained: &#8220;We have some professional therapists who are helping us, and we\u2019re just trying to have some hope and do it with dignity, grace and love. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I mean, it\u2019s heart-breaking. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;My girls are really suffering, and we\u2019re just trying to get through it.
