Run for cancer
Actor and executive producer of "Kennedy," Kieren, is set to run 2,000 kilometers from Melbourne to Brisbane in July. He will be averaging 64 kilometres per day for 31 consecutive days to raise much needed funds for pancreatic cancer research at the Jreissati Pancreatic Centre at Epworth Hospital.
Kieren’s commitment is almost as incredible as his attitude to life. He ultimately believes humans are on this planet to do good and how you decide to do that good, changes from person to person.
“Right now, I currently don’t have the finances to donate hundreds of thousands of dollars towards this cause. I do, however, have time and I have an unwavering determination.
I choose to do good by putting my body on the line, defying the odds, and hopefully inspiring individuals to donate through my actions”
Current Project
"Kennedy," a cinematic masterpiece from acclaimed director Darren Hawkins, starring Lauren Hamilton Neill and produced by Kieren Devisser, portrays the gripping tale of Sergeant Michael Kennedy and his wife, Bridget Kennedy. Set against the backdrop of the Kelly Gang's infamous massacre of the police force, including Kennedy's tragic demise, the film delves into the profound impact on Bridget, her children, and the Mansfield community. It aims not to vilify Ned Kelly but to unveil an alternative perspective long overlooked by history.
Past charity events.
Step Challenge 2023
In July 2023, Kieren Devisser embarked on a journey to raise funds for Pancreatic Cancer, walking a minimum of 50,000 steps daily. He traversed the Yarra Valley, walking up to 16 hours each day and covering a total distance of 1,700 kilometers over the span of 33 days.
Endurothon Oz
In 2017, Kieren Devisser founded Endurothon Oz, a non-profit event designed to bring athletes from around the globe together to raise funds for preventing plastic pollution and protecting our oceans. Kieren planned to run, cycle, and kayak 25,000 kilometers around Australia, while other athletes committed to swimming the English Channel. Unfortunately, after three years of hard work, the COVID-19 pandemic forced the event to be canceled before it could begin.
Cycle for Cancer 2014
In 2014, at the age of 16, Kieren Devisser signed up to cycle solo from Uluru to Melbourne to raise money for Cancer Council Victoria. Shortly after turning 17, he embarked on his 2,750-kilometer bike ride from the center of Australia back to his hometown of Yarra Junction. Upon his return, a crowd of 300 locals and students formed a guard of honor to welcome him home. Kieren was awarded Cancer Council's Volunteer of the Year.
