What If: Reflections Of My Father's Life by Sir Raymond Winters - Book Paperback

Summary

"What If" is the incredible true life story of Sir Jason Winters. From WWII ravaged England, to the deserts of the American Southwest. Over 1,000 miles down the Mackenzie River by canoe. Across the Canadian Rocky Mountains by hot air balloon.

He was the first Canadian to attempt the crossing of the Atlantic Ocean by balloon and tested seat belts by smashing cars through brick walls in New Zealand.

Sir Jason had many adventures, and then came the biggest test of all - Terminal Cancer at age 46. His epic struggle led him on a worldwide search for help that ultimately saved his life.

This book is a deeply personal look at Sir Jason's life and death struggle and his will to survive.

The author, Sir Raymond Winters, was educated in England, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. He served in the same regiment in the Canadian Armed Forces as his father, worked alongside him for over 20 years building an international herbal tea company, and knighted in Malta into the same Order as his father.. 

Read the true life story of Sir Jason Winters beautifully written by his son, Raymond.

A highly recommended read by Quantum Health Staff.

Foreword

A Message from the Author

Over the years, there have been many books and many stories told and written about my father, Sir Jason Winters, most of them great. I wanted to write a book about his life and what he meant to me the adventures he had and what I learned from him.

I wanted to protect and ensure the accuracy of his life story - and the creation of the Jason Winters Herbal Tea. So this is my recollection of his life and times. I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I did writing and living it.

My father had many adventures, interacting with many people in his life. For this book I have simply concentrated on my view and what I have learned from him and the effect his life and philosophy had on my life. If anyone feels left out of this rendition - I apologise.

At the end of my book I have included select chapters from my father's book, The Sir Jason Winter's Story, relating to the tea blend he formulated and his cancer, exactly as he wrote it over 30 years ago.
