For Jim O’Rourke, the road to the 2026 TCS New York City Marathon began with a challenge from someone he couldn’t say no to: his daughter, Grace.
An experienced marathoner, Grace was used to seeing her dad cheering from the sidelines at her races. This year, she challenged him to join her. Jim said yes, embracing the opportunity to take on a personal challenge, share an unforgettable father-daughter experience and raise funds for an organization that has been important to him for years, the Turn 2 Foundation.

Based on emails reviewed by CAIR-NJ, a parent who attended Back to School Night at the school reached out to Congressman Gottheimer’s office requesting their assistance with removing the sign.
