About Devon Harris


Devon Harris grew up in a violent ghetto in Kingston, Jamaica, but
his positive attitude and determination led him to success. He graduated from
the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in England, received a Queen’s Commission
in 1985, and served as a Captain in the Jamaica Defense Force until 1992.


 


He joined the first Jamaican bobsled team and competed in the 1988
Olympic Games in Calgary, inspiring the Disney movie Cool Runnings. He also
competed in the 1992 and 1998 Winter Olympics.


 


Devon founded the Keep On Pushing Foundation in 2006 to support
education in disadvantaged communities and currently runs breakfast and school
supplies programs. As an athlete ambassador for Right to Play, he supports
child development through sports in refugee camps. Devon has been recognized as
an Olympian For Life by the World Olympian Association. He authored the
motivational children’s book Yes, I Can! and the semi-autobiographical
motivational book “Keep On Pushing: Hot Lessons From Cool Runnings.”
