Christian’s Story

Site created on September 9, 2020

Welcome to our Caring Bridge website. We are using it to keep family and friends updated on our journey. We appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement. Thank you for visiting. 
As many of you know, Christian is a Pine Richland High School and Indiana University of Pennsylvania, Cook Honors School  graduate.  He graduated Magna Cum Lade.  He is smart and funny and an absolute joy to be with.  He was recently diagnosed with cancer.  He is currently undergoing chemotherapy and hopes to enroll in a clinical trial that will help him fight this disease.  Please say a little prayer everyday if you can for our sweet Christian and ask God for his complete healing and to guide us to the right people along the way.  With Love and Gratitude, Cochrans All

First Annual 3k "What's GOOD about TODAY?" Nature Hike/Park Day

Saturday, September 10th, Shelters reserved 8am - 9pm, (drop in anytime!)

The Christian Cochran Legacy Fund is organizing the 1st Annual 3K "What's GOOD about TODAY?" Nature Hike in memory of our beautiful, loving Christian Cochran. It will be held on Saturday, September 10, 2022 at North Park in Allegheny County, PA. Our hope is that each of us slows down, appreciates nature and all the goodness that surrounds us. Let's ask ourselves, "What's GOOD about TODAY?". (Christian's daily reminder to us all that we should focus on all that is good within each day).

The following picnic pavilions have been reserved near the Green Trail (Christian's favorite color!), for the entire day: Flagstaff, Flanders, School House and Roosevelt. Arrive at your convenience. Bring your own water bottle or any refreshments and snacks you'd like...a family picnic? If you prefer not to hike, feel welcome to use the reserved pavilions for family games. Bring along whatever your family enjoys to play... card games, board games, crafts. Make it a day in the park.

There is no fee to attend this event. Donations to the Christian Cochran Legacy Fund of the Pittsburgh Foundation to help us continue loving support in our community are always much appreciated! https://pittsburghfoundation.org/christiancochran

This event’s proceeds will go to YASU (Young Adult Survivors United). - As a member of this organization, Christian and our family valued the important work of this group. Your support will give hope to young adults and their family members facing life-changing cancer diagnoses, and the Latodomi Nature Center of North Park, to help support purchases of educational equipment such as binoculars and telescopes for the Nature Center's Star Gazing programs for children. Christian thoroughly enjoyed camps at the Nature Center as a boy, and as you may know, Christian had a great love for the night sky and was fascinated by, and deeply knowledgeable about outer space.

Join us for all things Beauty-Full.

You can help continue the Ripple Effect of Love that Christian created by attending/supporting this Nature Hike/Park Day! - Spread much Love in our community.

We hope to see you and your family at the park!

This event is sponsored by the Christian Cochran Legacy Fund through the Pittsburgh Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization.

Christian would often say, “I just want to do nice things for people.” - Christian Cochran

Hope to see you there!  With Love and Gratitude Cochrans All

John 9 NIV  "As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth.  His disciples asked him, Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind? Neither this man nor his parents sinned, said Jesus, but this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life."
