Thousands of inspired students
During the week of December 2-6, Inspirational speaker Katie Spotz visited 10 schools in the Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN area at the invitation of H2O for Life. Katie has completed several extreme events while raising funds to support clean water. She is the youngest person to row solo across an ocean, has run across 2 deserts, and swam the length of the Alleghany River. She has now turned her focus towards speaking to youth, inspiring them to make a difference.
Testimonials:

During the course of the week, Katie spoke to almost 4000 students and inspired them to think about how they could take action and provide clean water to schools. Katie ended her speech by saying: “I was a 22 year old girl, I put my oars in the water and I rowed. What are you going to do?
So our question to you- What will you do to make a difference?
