Amid Deadpool & Wolverine being the talk of the town, Ryan Reynolds
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/ryan-reynolds/], along with Rob McElhenney, just
showcased the importance of being a real-life hero. The Hollywood duo famed for
on-spot comic delivery and masterful wit has now taken to tend to global causes.
After turning the once-nearing-oblivion town of Wrexham and its soccer club, the
Wrexham AFC, into a globally recognized powerhouse, they attended a call that
has now left the Internet in awe of their goodwill.

A slew of global issues go unnoticed by the public. However, the Wrexham duo is
leaving no stone unturned to address the same.


RYAN REYNOLDS AND ROB MCELHENNEY SHED LIGHT ON A PRESSING GLOBAL CAUSE

Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, together, have always stretched their goals
beyond the fields of Wrexham. Giving an exemplary note of the same, 73-year-old
Frank Rothwell broke down in tears, in his post, as he thanked the duo for their
donation that helped him become the oldest person to row over 3,000 miles across
the Atlantic Ocean solo to raise money for Alzheimer’s Research UK.

> What a massive accomplishment, Frank! I want to be you when I grow up.

The Reynolds-McElhenney duo had donated $2,000 to the brave navigator of the
seas with the Deadpool star, also motivating him on his social media post with
“Go get ’em, Frank”. Now, in reply to Rothwell’s post, Reynolds commended him
for his “accomplishment” while stating “I want to be you when I grow up.”
Additionally, he also included his trademark humor by quipping that he talked
McElhenney out of his suggestion for a “two week cruise” for Rothwell.
