Ashley Jordyn Instagram – This hits close to home- my family is one of thousands affected by this disease. FTD is the most common cause of dementia for those under 60. Grateful to the Willis’ for sharing their story. Repost from @theaftd

Bruce Willis has been diagnosed with FTD, the actor’s family said in a statement released today.
In March 2022, Willis announced his retirement from acting due to a diagnosis of aphasia. However, the family has shared, his symptoms have progressed and are no longer limited to challenges with communication, leading to his FTD diagnosis.
“Bruce always believed in using his voice in the world to help others, and to raise awareness about important issues both publicly and privately,” the family said. “We know in our hearts that – if he could today – he would want to respond by bringing global attention and a connectedness with those who are also dealing with this debilitating disease and how it impacts so many individuals and their families.”
