Against all odds and medical knowledge, Aimee lived through the infection, although she coded twice during the process and lost her entire left leg, right foot, and both hands. Despite everything she has been through, Aimee continues to live life to the fullest and uses her story to inspire others who face similar struggles. Since then she has become a Licensed Master of Social Work, practicing therapy in Atlanta, and founded The Aimee Copeland Foundation to create outdoor recreation and mental health opportunities for people of all ages and abilities. She hopes to share the importance of connecting with the natural world for individuals with physical and mental disorders.
