In June 2011 Coppinger, along with Mark Wilson, James O'Connor and other Rovers staff walked the 62-mile Inca Trek raising almost £50,000 for the charity.
Coppinger was a British seaman who deserted his ship in San Francisco in 1835 but he went on to support Governor Alvarado's revolt against the Mexico-installed Governor Gutiérrez in Monterey in 1836.
