Dane shared in a press statement, “I wake up every morning, and I’m immediately reminded that this is real—this illness, this challenge.” He emphasizes the importance of capturing pivotal moments in his life, stating, “If sharing this helps someone find meaning in their own days, then my story is worth telling.”
