A good crowd was on hand Saturday at Optimal Fitness in Owasso for an arm wrestling tournament called "Linking Arms for Ryder".

Ryder, is Ryder Herring - a four-year old who is battling brain cancer.

All the money raised from this event - and every event held in Ryder's name - goes toward helping his family pay off the rising medical bills.
