Ryan Reynolds has shared a personal thank you message to a kind-hearted group of Welsh residents who came together to support a local family grieving the passing of their precious seven-year-old son, and for raising funds for charity in the youngster's name. The Hollywood actor and Wrexham AFC co-owner appeared on a big screen at a charity "firewalk" at Wrexham's stadium, The Racecourse Ground, on Friday, May 19 to pay tribute to young Aaron Wharton who sadly died from a rare and aggressive brain tumour last month.
Before his passing, Aaron had loved being a mascot at the stadium and so, in his memory, his loved ones arranged a special firewalk at the stadium - with the aim to raise as much money for Brain Tumour Research as possible.
Addressing the people taking part in the firewalk, who called themselves 'Aaron's Army,' Ryan said: "Thank you for being here to honour Aaron's memory, for all that you've done and all that you're doing and that you continue to do to fund Brain Tumour Research. There's absolutely no reason why somebody like Aaron should not be with us here today, so the work you're doing is incredibly important and hugely impactful to so many people. I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart." You can watch the full video at the top of this article.
