TIM BUCKLEY RECEIVES STANDING OVATION
Eighteen months ago, Tim Buckley was bedbound, unable to move without assistance, and confined to a wheelchair after being diagnosed with terminal cancer. But through perseverance, hope, and the transformative power of Immersion Therapy, Tim has defied the odds.
Last year, Tim took the stage at the Belgravia Foundation Inspiration Breakfast, sharing how his early sessions in the water had already given him newfound strength. At that time, he had only completed a few sessions but had progressed enough to walk along the bottom of the pool—a significant milestone in his journey.
Fast forward to 2025, and Tim’s progress has been nothing short of extraordinary. On Thursday, February 13th, he WALKED in front of an audience of over 200 people at this year’s Belgravia Foundation Inspiration Breakfast. The moment was met with a standing ovation, an emotional and inspiring testament to his resilience and the effectiveness of Immersion Therapy.
Reflecting on his journey, Tim expressed heartfelt gratitude:
“My wife Nikki and I, we’ve got our life back.”
His story highlights the profound impact of inclusive health initiatives, offering hope to others facing similar challenges.
Community Support & Immersion Therapy
Tim’s incredible transformation has not only inspired many but has also motivated others to support Immersion Therapy. Asta has generously donated $1,500 to help fund the program at WaterMarc, ensuring more individuals can access this life-changing therapy. This is in addition to Cleaning Melbourne’s $15,000 donation to Immersion Therapy late last year.
Tim’s journey is a powerful reminder that with the right support and determination, even the most daunting challenges can be overcome.
