Jonathan of Spruce Grove was diagnosed with a brain tumor at age five and after undergoing treatments which stretched out over 72 weeks, Jonathan was left very helpless but he incredibly found himself in a place where he spent a lot of his time in the kitchen.
With his father as his mentor, Jonathan interestingly fell in love with cooking at a point where everybody thought hope was lost.Â
Now as a teenager, he has already launched a successful food-based career and is giving back to the community.
Jonathan came 3rd in the baking category at the just ended world food Championship in Dallas, Texas.
His mother, Alina Giovannoni, supported him throughout the entire event of the food sports.
