Lexi Townsin’s legacy lives on through her brother Felix and A Million Acts of Love
Holding a door.They won’t fill the void left by a sister taken too soon, but each serves as a small salve in the grieving process for Greater Victoria teen Felix Townsin.
The Royal Bay Secondary student was nine when he lost his little sister. After battling the rare genetic disorder Blau Syndrome, Lexi Townsin died at the age of six – just weeks before what would have been her seventh birthday, Dec. 16, 2019. That milestone, followed so closely by what was a joyful family favourite – Christmas – makes the month particularly challenging for the Victoria teen and his family.
“One million is more than just a number – it’s a movement,” Felix told Victoria News. “It shows the power of collective action, of people coming together to make the world a kinder place. We all have causes we care about, but when we work together, the impact is even greater. When we reach one million acts, it will mean that Lexi's love has touched a million lives. It’s proof that even though she’s gone, her spirit continues to make the world a better place.
On Dec. 14, the campaign partners with Lumara Grief Group in Vancouver to distribute socks, gloves and snacks to people in need on Vancouver’s Eastside.An act of love can be as simple as supporting the campaign tree in the Bay Centre’s Festival of Trees, where funds raised benefit the BC Children’s Hospital.
