Ryan Reynolds, co-owner of Wrexham AFC, has donated £10,000 to a fundraiser established in support of Lexi Collins, a 13-year-old from Wrexham who is living with heart cancer, according to 90min.
Collins's fundraiser was set up to help her fulfil a wish to visit New York City. Reynolds's contribution brings significant momentum to the campaign, though 90min did not report the total raised or the overall target at the time of its reporting.
Reynolds and his fellow co-owner took on Wrexham in 2020, a decision that drew considerable scepticism before the club embarked on a run of promotions that returned them to the English Football League and, subsequently, higher divisions. Their tenure has been characterised in part by a visible engagement with the community in and around Wrexham, the north Welsh town whose identity is closely bound to the club.
The donation is a private act made public by the fundraiser's profile rather than any announcement from Reynolds himself, and 90min did not report a statement from him. It nonetheless fits a pattern of personal gestures that have come to define the co-ownership's relationship with the local area beyond the strictly footballing.
No further details about Collins's fundraiser — its platform, current total, or timeline — were available in the wire at the time 90min filed its report.
