Noelle Lambert Biography
Noelle Lambert is a Paralympic track and field athlete, motivational speaker, and advocate known for her journey from a life-altering accident to competing on the world stage. While vacationing at Martha's Vineyard, Lambert was involved in a moped accident that resulted in the loss of her left leg. At the time, she was attending University of Massachusetts Lowell and playing Division I women's lacrosse. Despite this setback, Lambert became the first above-the-knee amputee to play Division I lacrosse, scoring for the River Hawks women's lacrosse team in her first game after the accident. She graduated cum laude from UMass Lowell with a bachelor's degree in criminal justice and pursued a career in para-athletics, trying out for the U.S. Paralympic team in the 100-meter track and field event.
Lambert made the U.S. team and broke the American women's record at the World Para Athletics Championship in Dubai. She competed in the Paralympic Games in Tokyo, placing sixth in the 100-meter T63 and setting a new American record. Lambert expanded her events to include the long jump, becoming the first American T63 woman to surpass 5 meters at the U.S. Paralympic Team Trials. She competed in her second Paralympics in the 100-meter dash, placing seventh, and in the long jump, placing fourth. Lambert earned a bronze medal in the long jump at the World Championships in New Delhi.
Outside of athletics, Lambert is the founder of The Born to Run Foundation, which provides amputees with prosthetics designed for running and athletic activity. The organization has assisted numerous amputees in accessing specialized prostheses to support active lifestyles. Lambert appeared on Season 43 of "Survivor," finishing in the top eight and increasing her visibility in sports, philanthropy, and entertainment. Her work has contributed to her recognition as a prominent figure in the Paralympic movement.
Lambert has received several honors, including the Myra Kraft Community MVP Award, the Wilma Rudolph Student Athlete Achievement Award, the New England Women's Leadership Award by Boys and Girls Club of Dorchester, the "Hero Among Us" honor from the Boston Celtics, the L'Oreal Women of Worth Award, and the inaugural America East Inspiration Award. As a motivational speaker, Lambert shares her experiences in overcoming adversity and promoting perseverance through The Born to Run Foundation and public speaking engagements. Her story resonates with audiences in sports, business, and community leadership.
