Katie Spotz is 22 years old. Since the age of 18 the Mentor, OH native has become the first person to swim the entire 352 mile length of the Allegheny river, she has cycled 3,300 miles from Seattle to D.C., and has run 150 miles across the Mojave and Colorado Deserts.
Her next challenge: to row solo across the Atlantic Ocean. This December, Katie will row 2,500 miles from Dekar Senegal, Africa to Cayenne, South America to raise funds and awareness for safe drinking water. Her goal is to help 1000 people gain access to safe drinking water – a necessity that a billion people all over the world do not have access to.
Katie has teamed up with the Blue Planet Run Foundation – a non-profit based in San Francisco that funds safe drinking water projects all over the world – to help achieve her goal.
We at Jakprints are so inspired by Katie and will be keeping up on her progress so check back for more updates as we follow her on her journey!

No comments · Share · Posted by Jakprints in Uncategorized
For the 6th consecutive year, Jakprints is proud to announce we will be attending DFest in Tulsa, OK this Friday and Saturday July 24-25.
The event began as small festival at a bar in Tulsa to help co-founders Tom Green and Angie DeVore-Green and their band Ultrafix win a Jim Beam/Rolling Stone Magazine Best Unsigned Band Contest.
Since then, it has evolved into a 2 day music festival and conference that brings together professionals in the music industry, music enthusiasts, and emerging artists from across the U.S to celebrate diversity in music.
This years event is sure to be another success – featuring over 160 artists on 13 different stages with headliners including Cake and The Black Crowes.
The festival also offers educational panels, clinics and a tradeshow where you can take advantage of networking and resource opportunities in the music industry.
And for the first year in the events’ history, a Yoga conference sponsored by Whole Foods Market will be incorporated into the festivities. (Talk about diversity!)
As a sponsor of the event (we printed the programs for this year’s festival – make sure you get one!) we are proud to attend and hope we see some of you there!
