I got into nutrition because I wanted to work with patients that were trying to overcome cancer. I felt strongly that nutrition played a huge roll in the ability for the body to heal, as I still do. At age 11 Jack Witherspoon has accomplished more than I have dreamt to do. He not only is a survivor of leukemia, has raised over $100,00 towards pediatric leukemia research, he has also written a cookbook for children called, "Twist It Up."
Jack spent his time in the hospital not watching cartoons, but watching cooking shows; getting inspiration for his book. His goal is to continue to get healthier and share his recipes with others. Jack is also a fellow blogger, and you can follow his blog at ChefJackWitherspoon.
I wish you the best of luck Chef Jack. Thank you for being an inspiration to us all.
Pura Vida!
