Bruce Willis is being thanked by aphasia organizations for spreading awareness about the disease.
, the Executive Director at Triangle Aphasia Project Unlimited, tells us one of the worst things those with the disease could do is stay isolated ... but now, people are opening up about their experiences after seeing a celebrity in the same position as them.
Justine says they've seen a recent uptick in visitors online too with their Facebook page reaching over 4,000 users a day -- compared to less than 100 before Bruce's news broke. Both foundations say the use of the word"aphasia" played a big part in the awareness ... the Willis family could've been vague when describing his condition, but coming out and saying exactly what he has is making people in a similar situation as Bruce and others feel accepted.
