Selma Bham
Fundraiser Selma Bham raised money for YoungMinds by skydiving as a tribute to her partner Colleen Casey.
Colleen Casey would have been 23 on July 26th, 2008. Her partner, Selma Bham, honoured her birthday with a sponsored sky dive.
Selma says ‘She was beautiful, funny, talented, with amazing blue eyes. She could sing like an angel and loved to watch ME doing the washing up. Sadly she suffered from mental health problems and she died in January this year.
I was proud to raise money for Young Minds in her memory, and the sky dive was FANTASTIC! I screamed ‘Happy Birthday, Colleen’. Wow, what a head rush!’
Maggie, Colleen’s mother, adds ‘Coll used to say that when she'd grown up a bit and felt happier, she'd like a job helping troubled young people like herself. She would be happy that we are supporting Young Minds’.
