Hollywood star and Wrexham AFC co-owner Ryan Reynolds has donated UK£10,000 ($13,638) to help a 13-year-old Welsh girl battling a rare heart cancer visit New York City this Christmas.
The GoFundMe page pledge is for Lexi Collins, who is from Deeside in North Wales and was diagnosed with the aggressive cancer in June 2025. She has since undergone two open-heart surgeries, had a pacemaker fitted and is now facing intensive chemotherapy.
“Despite everything, (Lexi) still dreams big and her biggest wish is to visit New York when she’s well enough,” says the GoFundMe Page, which has blown past a £5000 goal ($6,829) goal and raised £13,670 ($18,682) to date.
The fund-raising effort organized by the Wrexham Police football team for Lexi has brought some good news to the young girl’s mother, Rebecca Collins, and family.
“I am absolutely blown away with the kindness and generosity of you all, because of you all my beautiful girl will get to see New York (keep everything crossed that she’s well enough!) Lexi wants to thank everyone, she is making sure she smashes her chemotherapy, because in her words ‘Im not letting cancer stop me going to New York!’ She’s already picking her outfits, she has a list of things she wants to see, and we even watched Home Alone (AGAIN) last night haha!! I am so proud of everyone running fundraisers in Lex’s name, you give me the strength to keep going. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!! Becky, Brad and Lex (Mum & Step Dad),” Collins said in an update on the GoFundMe page.
The Wrexham Police FC, which is made up of off-duty cops playing soccer and raising charity funds, on its X social media page praised Reynolds for his generous gift.
“A huge thank you to our friend @VancityReynolds for once again showing his incredible generosity. Because of this support, Lexi will be heading to New York when she’s feeling well enough. Not all heroes wear capes, this one wears a red and black suit. Thank you!” the post stated, with a reference to the suit for Deadpool, Reynolds’ superhero movie character, which has a red and black arrangement.
Reynolds and Rob Mac, who have owned Wrexham AFC since 2020, inspired FX’s Welcome to Wrexham, which is now in its fifth season.
