KENNEBUNKPORT - The Herb Noble Memorial Motorcycle Ride to raise funds for children with serious medical issues who are receiving treatment at the Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital at Maine Medical Center in Portland has been taking place for the past 11 years. The ride is in memory of a very special Mainer who had a big heart.
Dwight "Herb" Noble of Kennebunkport, died in 2008 from injuries sustained from a tree limb that fell on him as he was riding his motorcycle with friends. Noble was a lifelong Mainer, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, friend and avid biker and outdoorsman. T-shirts for the yearly event read "Herb Noble 1941-2008 - Born to Ride."
Herb’s son, Bob Noble, said his father was a longtime close friend of the late former President George H.W. Bush and the late former First Lady Barbara Bush and that is why the hospital was chosen to receive the proceeds from the yearly event. In past years, both the late President and First Lady have attended the yearly event and posed for photos with BBCH patients, family members and supporters.
Each year, the ride raises thousands of dollars to help children at the Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital at Maine Medical Center in Portland. Due to COVID19, this year’s ride has been postponed. Noble is asking all supporters to directly donate through the GO-FUND-ME account set up in Herb's memory instead of participating in an actual ride to keep the spirit of Herb and the ride which benefits so many alive. As always, 100% of all proceeds raised stay right here in Maine and benefit the children and families being served at BBCH. Noble said he hopes to resume the actual ride next year.
