“FTD is a cruel disease that many of us have never heard of and anyone can get it. For people under 60, FTD is the most common form of dementia, and because it can take years before a diagnosis is made, FTD may be much more prevalent than we know. There is currently no cure for this disease. There is no cure, but we hope that this reality will change in the coming years. As Bruce’s condition progresses, the media will help shine a light on this disease that needs more awareness and research. I hope there will be a lot of interest.”
