TIM LODGE
A Journey of Resilience, Transformation, and Purpose
Tim’s journey is one of resilience, transformation, and self-discovery. Born with severe congenital talipes, a condition that left his feet at 90-degree angles, he underwent 22 surgeries by the age of 10 and has endured 59 anaesthetic procedures to date. At 13, he faced profound personal loss with the passing of his father, an event that deeply shaped his resilience but left a lasting emotional impact. These early challenges taught Tim the importance of perseverance and fostered a foundation of self-awareness and resilience, which he spent years understanding and integrating.
In his 20s and 30s, Tim excelled in corporate finance and financial software, leading a high-profile, fast-paced career. Beneath the success, he faced personal struggles as the demands of his lifestyle began to take a toll. At 38, the strain of his unhealthy, fast-paced lifestyle culminated in a collapse with a suspected heart attack at Belfast airport on the way to see Bank of Ireland, marking a pivotal turning point.
In 2013, at 41, a canoeing coach invited him to train as a Paralympic athlete. Though he hadn’t paddled since his teens, Tim embraced the challenge, transforming from an unhealthy sales director to a decorated Paralympic athlete. At first, the journey was driven by the pursuit of medals and glory. Over time, however, Tim discovered a deeper purpose—a belief that his challenges, including his condition and his ability to communicate, were gifts enabling him to help others break through their barriers and transform their lives.
He is currently the European Gold Medallist and World Silver Medallist in para canoe, competing against athletes less than half his age and redefining human performance through his extraordinary journey of resilience and transformation.
