It's a family affair for a noble cause.

Calgarian Ryan Noble, along with his dad Sean and younger brothers Rob and Justin, will embark on a remarkable journey in an effort to raise money for the Kids Cancer Care Foundation.

While they're at it, they'll try to break a Guinness World Record. Team Noble will leave May 6 atop their Suzuki V-Strom motorcycles and ride 27,000 km from Ushuaia, Argentina, to Prudhoe Bay, Alaska.

They hope to arrive in Alaska with three days to spare.

The fundraising element of the ride for the KCCF involves asking Calgarians for a buck for every kilometre they each ride. If all goes well, the Nobles could drop off a whopping $108,000 cheque for the very noble KCCF cause.
