Throughout her life, Heidi Miltner felt it was important to help others. Her widower now made her last wish come true in South Africa.
Miltner succumbed to breast cancer in August 2019. The qualified lawyer and economist wrote her doctoral thesis on coming to terms with apartheid in Cape Town. In the process, she got to know and love South Africa and returned again and again for projects. Even when she was battling cancer. “People were always very important to Heidi, which is why, as a creative spirit, she gave courage and strength to those affected with numerous projects around the world after her own diagnosis,” explains widower Harry Miltner. He kept his promise and implemented the Heidis Pink Van charity South African NGO that offers free cancer screenings to people without insurance. Using a mammography truck. The brand new van has now been handed over in Johannesburg and will always be a reminder of Heidi Miltner.
