Waterboys: In 2015 Chris founded a non-profit called the Waterboys that intends to provide clean drinking water to communities in need. He was inspired after a trip to Tanzania where he learned that 1 in 9 of the world's population does not have access to clean drinking water. During his trip to Tanzania he witnessed young children drinking water from the same lake where animals defecated. One of the Waterboys' first goals was to build 32 water walls in Tanzania – one for every NFL team. He raised the money needed for the wells by organizing fundraising challenges like climbing Mount Kilimanjaro with other NFL vets and veterans. Their goal is to ultimately provide clean drinking water for over 1 million people.
