Longhorn long snapper and military hero Nate Boyer climbing Kilimanjaro for charity

This guy, always doing for others.

Climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro with a wounded veteran to raise money for a new charity initiative.

Through a project called Conquering Kili, Boyer is aiming to increase awareness about the challenges veterans face when returning home from active duty as well as provide funding toward building water wells for East African communities. The latter initiative is in conjunction with the "Waterboys" program started earlier this year by St. Louis Rams defensive end Chris Long.

Nate will be climbing the big hill with Blake Watson, who lost his leg when he took a knee on an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) in Iraq on his first deployment.
