Wrexham co-owner Ryan Reynolds has donated £10,000 to a fundraising campaign in support of brave Wrexham girl Lexi, 13, who is battling a rare and aggressive form of heart cancer.
Lexi Collins was diagnosed with the disease in June and has already undergone two open heart surgeries, had a pacemaker inserted and is currently undergoing intensive chemotherapy.
Despite the challenges, Lexi’s dream is to visit New York this Christmas – a wish that is now one step closer to becoming a reality thanks to support from the community.
The initial fundraiser was organized by Lexi’s family and supported by Wrexham Police FC, who launched their campaign own GoFundMe page to help him finance his dream trip. Thanks to Reynolds’ generous donation of £10,000, the original target of £20,000 has now been reached.
Wrexham Police FC shared the exciting news, saying: “A huge thank you to our friend @VancityReynolds for once again showing their incredible generosity. Thanks to their support, Lexi will be heading to New York when she is well enough. Not all heroes wear a cape, this one wears a red and black suit.”

In addition to Reynolds’ contribution, there is also a separate GoFundMe page set up by Lexi’s family to cover the costs of possible treatment abroad, travel and substantial medical expenses associated with her fight against cancer.
The largest donation on this page is £5,000 from Ethan Payne, known as Behzinga, a YouTube star and member of the Sidemen.
Although unconfirmed, this generous donation reportedly came from Payne, who previously shared links to Lexi’s fundraiser on his social media accounts.
