Our Story
Double Noble Foundation was recently founded by Nicole D'Arcangelo and Kimberly Marotta. Friends for years with a love for travel, they saw a need for something that hit close to home for them. On their adventures, they always evaluated how Kimberly's husband, Nicholas, would be able to do the trip with them in the future. Nicholas was diagnosed with Parkinson's in his early thirties and in recent years mobility issues were becoming more of a challenge.
​
One day they realized that other families would probably also be interested in how they sized up different locations for those traveling with disabilities, thus Double Noble Foundation was born.
