New Online Store Launched for Dave McGillivray Finish Strong Foundation

October 28, 2025

Supporter’s Medals, children’s books available for purchase to support nonprofit

BOSTON, Mass. (October 28, 2025) /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – The Dave McGillivray Finish Strong Foundation is debuting a new online store on its website. The store features the Supporter’s Medal and McGillivray’s children’s books. By shopping directly through the foundation’s site, shoppers will be supporting the organization’s programming and mission. More products and merchandise are expected to be added in the new year.

“After launching the Supporter’s Medal earlier this year, we saw high demand from runners who shopped with us in person at race expos like the Boston Marathon and the ASICS Falmouth Road Race,” said Dave McGillivray, president of the Finish Strong Foundation. “Many asked us, is there a way I can purchase more online to recognize the many people who helped me achieve my goals? We got right to work so that runners across the nation can enjoy this special product, as well as my children’s book collection that inspire the next generation of finishers.”

Proceeds from all four available products will benefit the foundation. The Supporter’s Medal, designed for athletes to gift to their training partners, family and friends who helped them complete their goal, features a bronze finish and the same high-quality materials used to create the medals that athletes earn at their event. The face of the medal shows a runner crossing a finish line, their supporters cheering them on as they go and the message, “Thank you for helping me finish strong!” The medal’s ribbon showcases the logo of the Finish Strong Foundation.

McGillivray’s three children’s books, created with co-author Nancy Feehrer, span three of his most notable running adventures. “Dream Big: A True Story of Courage and Determination” details Dave’s dreams of being a professional athlete and his first time running the Boston Marathon. “Running Across America: A True Story of Dreams, Determination, and Heading for Home” tells the story of McGillivray’s transcontinental run across the United States. Finally, “Finish Strong: Seven Marathons, Seven Continents, Seven Days” showcases his completion of the World Marathon Challenge, which dares participants to complete seven marathons on seven continents in seven days.

New products expected to join the store’s inventory in 2026 include apparel, running gear and more.
