As an incentive, Lewis will be giving away an autographed helmet to one random fan who donates or spreads the word about the fundraiser.<\/p>\n<p>The retired <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webpronews.com\/tag\/nfl\">NFL<\/a> linebacker and Super Bowl champion announced his intentions on Twitter and on his <a href=\"http:\/\/raylewis.lockerdome.com\/contests\/107811641\">website<\/a>, saying:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>In one month, I will climb Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania to raise money and awareness for clean water projects in East Africa. I am so FIRED UP for this adventure, but until then, I need your help to bring clean water wells to thousands of children and families. Show your support by following my TackleKili journey, spreading the word, and donating to TackleKili. Each action you complete below earns you more entries to win my autographed helmet!
