Row, Row, Row (Your Boat)

Pro tip: listen to this song while you read this post.


Some people decide to change the world after they have the financial means to do so. Others figure out a way to do it to raise money to change the world. Take 23-year-old Katie Spotz from Cleveland, Ohio, last month, she became the youngest person ever to row across the Atlantic Ocean. She rowed a boat. Across the Atlantic Ocean. Know why she did it? To raise awareness of, you guessed it, the need for clean drinking water.

Well crap. That hits home. I'm 23, and I don't think I could muster the passion, dedication, or pure physical endurance to row across an ocean. Katie's story is pretty incredible, you should check it out on rowforwater.com, Facebook, and Twitter.

People can do amazing things when they believe in something.
