Noelle Lambert
Para-Athlete | USA Paralympic Track and Field Team
Noelle Lambert, an exclusive Blue Sky client, is an inspiring young woman and standout athlete. She graduated from UMass Lowell with a criminal justice degree and played Division 1 Lacrosse for the River Hawks. After a stunning freshman year, Noelle suffered a life-changing injury while involved in a horrendous moped accident that resulted in the amputation of her left leg above the knee. Always one to be positive, Lambert never let the injury defeat her and she made her return to the lacrosse field 18 months later.
In 2018, Noelle founded The Born to Run Foundation, a nonprofit which aims to provide child amputees with a specific prosthetic that will allow them to run again. Noelle hopes she can grow the foundation so it is able to donate three to five prosthetics each year. In November of 2019, Lambert broke the American record in the women's 100-meter sprint, running 16.31 seconds, at the World Para Athletics Championships in Dubai. Noelle was one of ten women nominated for the 2020 L’Oreal Paris Women of Worth award and was voted the National Honoree this December. Noelle was on Season 43 of Survivor and has competed at two Paralympic games, Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024.
