How to kill a MFC Thread?

I spawn a thread using AfxBeginThread which is just an infinite while loop:

UINT CMyClass::ThreadProc( LPVOID param )
{
  while (TRUE)
  {
      // do stuff
  }
  return 1;
}

How do I kill off this thread in my class destructor?

I think something like

UINT CMyClass::ThreadProc( LPVOID param )
{
  while (m_bKillThread)
  {
      // do stuff
  }
  return 1;
}

and then set m_bKillThread to FALSE in the destructor. But I still need to wait in the destructor until the thread is dead.
