Ryan Reynolds, Rob McElhenny, and Michael Sheen are among those who pledged money towards a match for four-year-old Louis Perrin.
A charity football match aimed at raising money for a disabled four-year-old has smashed its target thanks to kind-hearted donors, including a host of celebrities. Louis Perrin was born with a rare genetic variant of the TUBA1A gene, which causes painful leg spasms, limited mobility, epilepsy and cerebral palsy.
Wrexham FC celebrity owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenny pledged £10,000 to the cause and famed Welsh actor Michael Sheen also donated £5,000. Aaron and Charlotte's target has since been hit and the parents are delighted with the support for their son. Charlotte said support from Reynolds, McElhenny and Sheen has been a “highlight”, but action by locals in Wrexham has also been appreciated. She added: “We had a charity raffle and quiz night one Friday and we were given a space for free and the staff worked for nothing.
Sgt Dave Smith from Wrexham Police FC said: “It’s just so lovely to see that people can come together collectively to do something so special for Louis’s family, and it’s not just locally within Wrexham, but we’ve received donations from right across the world. Top news stories today On March 2, Sgt Smith got to meet McElhenny in person and said it was “great” to be able to thank him for the support both he and Reynolds have given.
