Hello

My name is Jim Copeland, I started Champions In Motion, Adventures In Recovery to provide hope to those Veterans suffering with Mental Health challenges from their service. Some of the steps to achieving this goal are: Bring awareness, Educate, Advocate, Form community partnerships, Community Service and Mindfulness and Peace through connection with nature.

My Story

I’m a Marine Corps Veteran who has suffered from mental illness for nearly 30 years. CPTSD, Bi-Polar II… The impact this has had on my life has been tremendous. From suicide attempts to failed relationships to lost opportunities, I’m sure this story sounds familiar; you are not alone. But there can be tremendous healing when the pain is harnessed, and we’re able to better understand how to find healthy ways to manage the symptoms. One of my healthy coping mechanisms is trail running and making videos of the runs. I hope that by sharing my message and inspiring hope that we can collectively make a difference in a Veterans life.
