Katie Spotz

Katie is an endurance athlete who has achieved more in her 24 years than many people achieve in a lifetime. In 2010, she rowed solo across the Atlantic, setting a new world record as the youngest person to row an ocean solo. The expedition raised over $100,000 for Blue Planet Network.

Prior to her ocean row, Katie's achievements included cycling 3,300 miles from Seattle to D.C., becoming the first person to swim the 325-mile long Allegheny River and running 150 miles solo and self-supported across the Mojave and Colorado desert. She has also competed in numerous endurance events including an ultra-marathon and a half ironman triathlon.

In 2010, Katie was named as one of Glamour Magazine's "Women of the Year".
