CENTRAL TEXAS — A Central Texas boy is raising money for the American Heart Association's Kids Heart Challenge.

Ryan Ragsdale, 8, is a second grader from West Elementary School.

This is Ragsdale's third year doing this.

Last year, he raised over $3,000.

This year, his goal is $3,500.

He is now painting rocks and collecting toys to sell.

"Shen somebody buys something, I'm going to tell them a joke because laughing is good for the heart," Ragsdale told 25 News.

Anyone interested can donate toys or money to the cause.

Ragsdale's deadline is Friday, February 17, 2023.
