Bruce Willis's family is preparing for his final farewell and plans to donate his brain to science to help advance research into frontotemporal dementia (FTD). His wife, Emma Heming Willis, revealed this decision in her book, with support from Demi Moore and his daughters.
Emma Heming-Willis revealed that as Bruce Willis continues to battle frontotemporal dementia, the family is preparing for the difficult times ahead.She explained that she has planned many details of the farewell ceremony so that the family can support each other during this critical time.
Bruce Willis, now 70, was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia three years ago. The disease has stripped him of much of his ability to communicate and made his daily life increasingly difficult. He now resides in a specially prepared care facility, receiving round-the-clock medical attention.
There is currently no cure for FTD, but donated brain tissue can help researchers study the protein mutations and cellular changes associated with the disease. The Willis family has also launched a fund to support FTD research and caregivers.
