Have you heard of the book If You Plant a Seed by Kadir Nelson? We highly recommend this great read about the power of one small act that has great life lessons throughout! A bonus: the book features oil paintings by Kadir to go along with the story.

About us
Our mission at the Dave McGillivray Finish Strong Foundation is to inspire and empower youth across New England and beyond to increase physical activity, expand literacy, and build community and self-esteem though running, reading, and performing acts of kindness. Our vision is rooted in a belief that discovering a passion for physical activity, reading, and acts of kindness at a young age gives individuals self-confidence and self-respect, which empowers them to move forward—one step at a time.
