San Francisco 49ers center Ben Garland helped raise over $205,000 for charity while becoming the first active NFL player to reach the peak of Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa.
ESPN's Nick Wagoner reported the trip also included former NFL defensive end Lamarr Houston, water advocates and military veterans in coordination with Waterboys, an initiative started by former NFL defensive end Chris Long to bring clean water to countries in need.
The money raised will help with the installation of two clean water wells in Tanzania, the Mount Kilimanjaro is located, per Wagoner.
