Vincent Casanova PHD Defense Fund

Hello,

Our friend and colleague, Vincent Casanova is defending his thesis on June 14th (!), and we want to pitch in to get him a piece of outdoor/survival gear that he has wanted for years. 

We all know that Vincent has worked incredibly hard on his PhD project, and he has really given a lot of himself in this endeavor. To show him our support, we want to pitch in on a gift that will get him back into the mountains, where he belongs : an Avalanche Airbag Backpack!

We have found the perfect backpack for him, and it would be awesome if you can show your support for Vincent by giving a little to our GoFundMe page to support his gift. He will appreciate it so much, and has been wanting this backpack for years.

Thank you for the support and for helping send Vincent off in style!

 Avalanche Airbag Systems have a self-inflating balloon packed into a backpack. If he gets into an avalanche while mountaineering or skiing, he can pull a string and float to the top of the avalanche flow. These are the most effective life-saving devices available to mountaineers and skiers!
