Emma Heming launches dementia charity honoring Bruce Willis

Emma Heming has launched the Emma & Bruce Willis Fund for Dementia Research and Caregiver Support while accepting the Susan Newhouse & Si Newhouse Award of Hope at The Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration’s Hope Rising Benefit in New York. She announced the fund on Instagram with a photo of the couple and said, “This journey has opened my eyes to the realities so many families face when a loved one is living with frontotemporal dementia.” The fund’s Instagram page says it “works to confront frontotemporal dementia by raising awareness, funding promising research, and supporting caregivers.” Heming said she wants “to help deepen understanding” of the disease and “ensure families facing it feel seen, supported, and less alone,” adding, “Bruce has always led with generosity and heart, and I know he would be proud to see this effort helping families facing this disease.” Willis, 70, was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia in 2023.
