26 May
Summary
- New campaign features PSA and documentary on Eric Dane's advocacy.
- Celebrities like Sterling K. Brown support the fight against ALS.
- Initiative pushes for reauthorization of the ACT for ALS legislation.
During ALS Awareness Month, a significant national campaign spearheaded by I AM ALS is illuminating the ongoing battle against ALS and commemorating the final advocacy efforts of the late Eric Dane. This initiative prominently features a star-studded public service announcement and a newly released documentary short.
The documentary, titled "Ring Every Bell: Eric Dane's Final Act with I AM ALS," chronicles Dane's concluding work with the organization. It highlights his involvement in the Push for Progress initiative, which seeks to speed up research, broaden access to treatments, and secure substantial federal funding for ALS.
The campaign also galvanizes support for the reauthorization of the ACT for ALS. This vital legislation, which has significantly impacted research and treatment development, is nearing its expiration. I AM ALS is urging public engagement through advocacy and community action to ensure its continuation and advance the quest for a cure.
