These were some of the highlights of speaking at schools, communities, and events during and after the 4 points journey. The ride itself had three clear objectives, to raise awareness that stroke happens at any age, to raise funds for young stroke (nominated finalist for fundraiser of the year, 2024, by the Stroke Foundation) and to promote inclusion through bike riding.

Speaking highlights

Following the ride, I’m an MC, a speaker, and facilitating workshops. The key focus is inclusion and living with a disability ranging from vulnerability, and empathy to empowering and motivating others. Get in contact if you would like me to be your next speaker.

Testimonials

  • “As part of our neurological studies, Tommy spoke to me and the other OT students at La Trobe University about his stroke and experiences since having a stroke. I had never met anyone that had experienced a stroke before meeting Tommy and was deeply moved by his story! His delivery and level of detail was truly outstanding. I would recommend anyone that is interested in learning about stroke to listen Tommy’s story!”

    Casey Levy

  • “Tommy spoke to our Board about his stroke, his 4 Points Australia cycle, his passion for inclusion and what’s next for Tommy Quick. He engaged and included his audience in his talk and was very witty – all while getting his important and to the point messages across”

    Dr Lisa Murphy, Stroke Foundation CEO

  • “As a guest speaker, it is unavoidable that Tom’s story and achievements will inspire. However, what has made his interactions with my students most valuable is that he leaves them with a perspective shift. With his unapologetic honesty and disarming humour, Tom provides an experience that gets his audiences contemplating inclusivity with deeper insight, empathy and understanding. I highly recommend.“

  • “Tommy Quick presents with humour, compassion and empathy. Sharing his journey from suffering a childhood stroke, to his challenges on his recovery journey, to his uplifting story telling of resilience and the importance of kindness and impact of words. Tommy is an inspiration to us all and we look forward to celebrating his latest “@4pointsasutralia” Tassie trek in 2025.”
