Personal life In 2013, Wreford was diagnosed with anaplastic astrocytoma, a malignant brain tumor, and was told that she was expected to live for only another two to six years. In response to the lack of resources she found after her diagnosis, Wreford helped to found the website "livingoutloud.life", which launched in 2018, to help young people living with terminal illness connect with each other and cope with their diagnoses.
