Dr Gill Hicks AM MBE

You could have heard a pin drop when Gill was doing her presentation. She is very generous in sharing private & intimate moments and teaches her audience just how precious life is. Every person I spoke to just loved her and her message and our CEO said that Gill was the best speaker that she had ever heard.

Gill held the audience spellbound for well over an hour. The presentation was both confronting and inspirational.  It gave our members a new perspective on prioritising their lives and what is truly important as well as the sheer determination in beating the odds… truly a unique experience

One could not help but be inspired and challenged - and in the very self centred world of the City reflective on how we spend our time, live our lives and evaluate what is truly important. Pity I could not have made it mandated viewing for all on the trading floor!

Gill is a constant reminder that our work is hugely valued and appreciated, and has become a dear friend to many.  Her frequent and overwhelmingly positive comments about St Thomas', her fundraising efforts and her willingness to talk candidly about her experiences as a patient and of her recovery continue to enrich the lives of everyone who has met her since those tragic events on July 7

You tell your story with such power and pace… it is essential to our survival and that of our planet that we stay conscious – that we are aware of what we are doing … and that we act on that awareness.  By example and by examination, you show us how. Thank you

Founder of Peace Direct, recipient of the Niwano Peace Prize in 2003 and nominated three time for the Nobel Peace

She has worked hard to regain her mobility with prosthetic limbs, and now works tirelessly for better opportunities for disabled people with the charity Leonard Cheshire Disability, and devotes herself full-time to building networks for peace between Muslim, Christian and other communities.  Gill has displayed an awesome spirit and strength to choose hope over despair, and a relentless sense of purpose, when it would have been so easy to fall into depression. Like so many other women, the unimaginable tests she has faced have not made her give up, but instead inspired her to devote herself to a cause close to her heart.
