Upon his return to the states, Rock and his fiancé (now wife) formed DoGoodCville, a volunteer organization aimed at assisting those in need in the central VA region. Rock’s mission to continue to serve lives on, as he leads the 2022 Conquering Kili class as this year’s Team Captain to the top of the mountain to provide a brighter future for those in East Africa.
Each new Conquering Kili class accepts the challenge to embark for the summit, a walk that represents the miles that many African women journey on a daily basis to fetch water for their families. While training for the climb, each team member works to raise funds and transform communities through the gift of clean water.
