Flex Lewis may be a seven-time Mr. Olympia winner and bodybuilding star, but he knows the harshness of life. He has dealt with hard times but does not want young people of this generation to see the same. A philanthropic at heart, he always gives away as much as possible, especially to children. And this Christmas season, the bodybuilding legend has again started a special donation drive.

Dragons Lair gym, owned by Flex Lewis, decided to donate toys to children during a 10-day toy drive. The bodybuilder uploaded the video on his Instagram and wrote a heartfelt caption for the post.

Flex Lewis gets into the spirit of Christmas

Stockings, trees, eggnog, nutcrackers, reindeer, and charity – all these words evoke the spirit of yuletide. Dragons Lair indulged in the last bit, as their social media post shows members standing together with hundreds of toys behind them. Then someone speaks up, “So we’re here in city number 10 of our 10 city toy drive we are in Las Vegas at Dragon’s Lair gym.” He also spoke about how people can still donate toys online and give homeless children the happiest Christmas they can have. The group would also go to homeless shelters and orphanages to bring joy to kids.

Lewis also wrote a caption for the post and requested his fans to forward this video to any family in Las Vegas who needs this donation. Santa in disguise, the bodybuilder is making children happy all over the city. Lewis thanked the volunteers and members who donated and all the friends who had shown up.

Finally, he wrote, “What an incredible event going on, I wish I was there, having wild FOMO from in Wales but living through all your tagged videos and seeing the smiles on the kids picking up gifts. Love you all!!!”
