I really wrestled as whether to write in, as so much has already been written in response to the suggestion that the Noble's might be gaining financially, or that this may be more of a “family trip” than an actual fundraising event. However I felt I just had to post as I know Sean and Kathy, and most importantly, what they are all about.  I understand how someone (and there may be more people than just this one anonymous poster) might have suspicions about the impetus behind such a trip. It wouldn’t be the first time somebody has gained financially (or in some other way) by riding the wave of some cause or another. Healthy scepticism is a good thing; it allows for investigation and often leads to holding people accountable.
 For the person who wrote in wondering about the Noble’s motivation, I want to assure you they are truly honourable people seeking to raise awareness and money for the Kids Cancer Care Foundation of Alberta. 
Sean and his boys love riding motorcycles and also love helping people (it was Sean’s enthusiasm that got me back on a bike a few years ago). Both Sean and Kathy work in helping professions and each has seen their share of tragedy. I know they are not gaining financially, and most likely will end up on the hook for thousands of dollars at the end of this trip. 
If anyone has travelled, they would know that this isn’t anyone’s idea of a “family trip”. The number of hours per day that the guys are on the road precludes their ability to really interact with their surroundings. It’s just go, go, and go. 
As to whether they are breaking any records, I don’t think that matters all that much to the Nobles. I would suspect the boys might like to be recognized for accomplishing such a feat, and why not? I know it wouldn’t matter much to Sean; he’s always been one to let someone else get the glory. 
As to the details of how much money has actually been raised, that’s a fair request. I know a lot of energy has been put into the logistics of the trip, and as the guys have been progressing, more and more effort appears to be focussed on having people donate. I’m no expert in charitable fundraising; however I suspect it takes time to actually get facts and figures. I know the Noble’s and I know your request for details will be honoured. Simply put, public awareness aside, any contribution to the Kids Cancer Care Foundation of Alberta as a result of this trip is a bonus.   
Other than donating money, keeping tabs on the guy’s progress online, and praying they will all be safe, I’ve no involvement with this trip. 
Anonymous poster: do keep in mind that for the Noble extended family, this can’t be seen as “family trip”. Imagine if someone you loved went away for weeks, riding extremely long hours on a motorcycle over dangerous roads day in and day out. This has got to be a test in patience and sanity for the guy’s loved ones. 
I hope you have faith in my assertion that this is all above board and that the noble’s are not ‘glory hounds’, or seeking a subsidized family trip. They are honourable people seeking to raise awareness and funds for a very worthy cause: Kids with cancer.
