CCB participates in the 2024 Bionic 5k
CCB members participated in the 2024 Bionic 5k race on Sunday, April 28. The Bionic 5k celebrates the power of technology to enable ALL people to run together, and was held this year in Harvard Square. CCB was very happy to cover registration fees for those in our community who were interested in joining and participating with our very own CCB team.
The Bionic Project, Inc. was founded by Will Borden in 2018. An avid runner and below-the-knee amputee, he saw an unmet need for athletic events that welcomed people of all abilities. Will created the Bionic5k in Harvard Square in 2018 and launched a second race in San Francisco in 2022. Both events broke down barriers and built community in powerful ways. As a career educator, Will knew that programming specifically designed to engage young people was the next step to building a more inclusive future. Bionic’s education program launched in the fall of 2023. In their first year, they have worked in 34 schools in Massachusetts and California, engaging over 10,000 students.
