So grateful to the Ravens for 17 years. The miles we traveled together were foundational to getting my heart and head ready to TackleKili this July. Yeah, I tackled Steelers and Redskins and Browns for 17 years but I hear Kili is a whole other battle. I am keeping in mind the battle these children face every day just to get a drink of water. This motivates me. Getting ready for this next battle with all of your help. Glad you are still on my team.

Since retiring, I have explored the best direction for my commitment and belief – shared by all generations of the Lewis family – to serve others. More than 4,500 children die every day from illness because of a lack of clean water and through TackleKili we can all play a role. If you can, come join me – as a donor, a climber, or a sponsor. Everyone can join our team and climb with us or follow this journey to help save lives.

John Bongiorno, President of WorldServe International, and a five time Kili climber told us: “I have been working in Tanzania ten years – it is a tough place. People ask me ‘Will Ray make it to the top?’ And I say ‘Yes; Kili can’t conquer Ray. There’s just too much passion and heart in that man.’ At the same time, he needs your help, your support, your inspiration. He is trying to do so much for some of the poorest children in the world.” Want to join Ray, John and others on the climb of a lifetime? Check out the itinerary and think about how you can participate - as a donor, by playing one of our contests, or following on Twitter. We need you!
