John ‘Maz’ Marriott was diagnosed with M.E. in 2009. Maz has been vegan for 30 years, is author of low-budget vegan cookbook “The Chip Butty Vegan”, and huntsabbed since he first became vegan up until recently when he had to stop due to his health.

Maz is dependent on a carer and a mobility scooter – and when his scooter broke he found himself mainly confined to the house. Since his new scooter awarded by the Vegetarian and Vegan Fund arrived, Maz has been back at demonstrations in the city centre and in muddy fields, and we were lucky enough to meet him in person at VegFest UK.

“I had to come and see you all and thank you in person.”
