Ryan Reynolds’ £10,000 Donation Tops Fundraising Goal for Wrexham Teen’s New York Wish

The gift capped a community drive by Wrexham Police FC to help 13-year-old Lexi Collins during treatment for a rare heart cancer.

Overview

  • Organisers say the contribution pushed combined appeals beyond the family’s £20,000 target.
  • Wrexham Police FC’s GoFundMe, titled “Help Lexi’s dream take flight,” sought £5,000 within a wider family goal.
  • The team thanked Reynolds publicly and said Lexi will travel to New York when she is medically fit.
  • Lexi Collins, 13, has undergone two open-heart surgeries, received a pacemaker, and is in intensive chemotherapy.
  • Reynolds and co-owner Rob McElhenney have a recent record of local giving, including a £5,000 cancer-related donation in May.
