Colleen Irene Lantz was a vibrant young woman originally from Neustadt, ON with a passion for fitness, which was only surpassed by her love for her family and for children. She had been planning to organize a local run in October 2007 with Alecia Lantz, Run 4 Youth Race Director. Their goal was to increase the health and fitness of the local communities while raising money for local organizations geared toward assisting children. On August 11, 2007 Colleen lost her life in a tragic automobile accident. Her six week old son and husband survived the accident.
