According to the Daily Mail, Kurt Cochran of Utah was thrown from Westminster Bridge after he was struck by the assailant’s vehicle. His wife, Melissa, was also hit but was recovering in a nearby hospital.

A family member has set up a GoFundMe account to help support Melissa on her road to recovery.

“Melissa & Kurt are self-employed, having built a recording studio business from the ground up over the last 10 years,” the GoFundMe states.

“During that time they donated their recording and sound skills to the Summerfest celebration in Bountiful, Utah, to local school productions, and many other worthy causes.”

“Melissa needs funds to help cover her regular monthly expenses and loss of income.  This fund is administered by her brother who is the family spokesman in this tragedy.  He will deliver the funds to her. ”

The Daily Mail quotes a member of the Melissa’s family who said that the couple were celebrating their wedding anniversary.

“While we are glad she survived, our hearts are broken and will never be the same after losing our dear uncle, brother-in-law, father,” the family member said.

“Kurt, you are a hero, and we will never forget you.”
