Paul Comhill of the Sepsis Trust, owner of the Half Moon Mark Sutton, pub manager Nicky Unford, Nickie Brightwell (who helped with the fundraising), Nick Summonds, Pippa and Jochen Greuel.

Jochen Greuel spent two weeks in an induced coma, had his fingers and the halves of his feet amputated, lost the tip of his nose and slithers from his ears.

Jochen and his wife Pippa organised a weekend of events to raise funds for the Sepsis Trust, and to help people to learn to spot the symptoms of Sepsis before it becomes life-threatening.

Events were held at the Half Moon pub on Lawford Road. The Sepsis Trust states early treatment of the condition, which occurs when someone’s immune system attacks their own body, can save lives.
