John ‘Maz’ Marriott

John ‘Maz’ Marriott has been vegan for almost 40 years. He was diagnosed with M.E. in 2009. He is author of a budget-friendly vegan cookbook The Chip Butty Vegan and huntsabbed since he first became vegan, right up until recently when he had to reluctantly stop because of poor health.

Maz is dependent on a carer and a mobility scooter and when his scooter broke, he found himself mainly confined to the house. Happily, VfL's Vegetarian and Vegan Fund was able to approve the purchase of a new scooter for him. Since it arrived, Maz has been back on the road again at demonstrations in the city centre and in muddy fields. The team at VfL was lucky enough to meet him in person at Vegfest UK where he thanked VfL for his life-changing scooter.
