Combat Camera vet recalls climbing Kilimanjaro with NFL 'Waterboys'

Cover Image

As a Marine Corps Combat Correspondent, Micah Snead photographed Operation Iraqi Freedom on two deployments.

As a veteran, he still wanted to serve so he joined up with the Waterboys, an organization that brings together combat veterans and professional athletes to bring life-sustaining water to communities in Africa. 


Founded by Philadelphia Eagle Chris Long, the organization creates a team of players and vets who summit Mt. Kilimanjaro and raise funds for drilling wells.

In the gallery above you can see images from their 2018 journey to the summit.
