In loving Memory Ursula Rose Hickey 13th September, 1947 - February 14, 2003 Founder & Chairperson Breakthrough Cancer Trust Breakthrough Cancer Trust Chairperson Ursula Hickey died February 14th, 2003. She died in a Cape Town hospital in South Africa after bravely battling breast cancer for a few years. Mrs Hickey was survived by her husband Errol Hickey, owner of Radio Phoenix and their daughter Joanna. She was instrumental in the formation of Breakthrough Cancer Trust and her vision was to mitigate the suffering of cancer patients. Before her death, Mrs Hickey officiated at the handover of an exclusive cancer Ward B21 at the University Teaching Hospital. The ward was rehabilitated by BreakthrougCancer Trust. All BCT functions in the past were usually characterized by hugs, kisses and laughter, but this event was one marred with tears. Mrs Hickey who had been away for treatment abroad was not going to miss this occasion for anything regardless of her frail condition, afterall this was her vision! |
