Ryan Reynolds contributes £10,000 to fundraiser for Wrexham teenager
Wrexham co-owner Ryan Reynolds has made a £10,000 contribution to support a fundraising initiative for 13-year-old Lexi, a courageous girl from Wrexham, who is battling a rare and aggressive heart cancer. Lexi Collins was diagnosed in June and has already undergone two open-heart procedures, had a pacemaker installed, and is currently undergoing intensive chemotherapy. Despite these obstacles, Lexi dreams of visiting New York City this Christmas—a wish that is now more attainable due to the community’s backing. The original fundraising campaign was initiated by Lexi’s family and has received support from Wrexham Police FC, which launched its own GoFundMe page to help finance her dream trip. Thanks to Reynolds’ generous £10,000 donation, the initial goal of £20,000 has now been achieved. Wrexham Police FC shared the uplifting news, stating: “A huge thank you to our friend @VancityReynolds for once again demonstrating his remarkable generosity. With his support, Lexi will be heading to New York when she’s feeling well enough. Not all heroes wear capes, this one dons a red and black suit.” A huge thank you to our friend @VancityReynolds for once again demonstrating his remarkable generosity.

Additionally, there is a different GoFundMe page created by Lexi’s family to cover expenses for potential treatment abroad, travel, and the hefty medical costs associated with her battle against cancer. The largest donation on this page is £5,000 from Ethan Payne, known as Behzinga, a YouTube personality and member of the Sidemen. Although not officially confirmed, this generous donation is thought to have originated from Payne, who had previously shared links to Lexi’s fundraiser on his social media profiles.
