About Noelle Lambert

Noelle Lambert is a two-time Paralympian, world championship medalist, and motivational speaker whose journey shows the power of resilience, determination, and self-belief. After losing her left leg in a moped accident, she returned to elite competition and turned a life-changing setback into an opportunity to inspire and support others.

Career Highlights

Lambert was a Division I lacrosse player at UMass Lowell when, in the summer of 2016 after her freshman season, she lost her left leg in a moped accident on Martha’s Vineyard. Eighteen months later she returned to the field and scored a goal in her first game back, and she graduated from UMass Lowell in 2019.

She then turned to para track and field.

At the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games she placed fourth in the long jump and seventh in the 100 meters, and at the 2025 World Para Athletics Championships in New Delhi she won bronze in the long jump. She has also competed internationally in para snowboard, placing fourth in banked slalom at the 2022 World Championships.
