Noelle Lambert has long been a survivor. Now she’s playing one on TV.

After losing a leg in 2016, the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic sprinter hopes to be the first person with a prosthetic leg to win CBS’s long-running hit “Survivor.” Season 43 of the Emmy-winning reality show premieres Wednesday at 8 p.m.

Of the 646 contestants over the course of 22 years, the Manchester, N.H., resident becomes the first above-the-knee amputee to compete. Two previous contestants were below-the-knee amputees.

MANCHESTER, N.H. — Former UMass Lowell lacrosse player Noelle Lambert recently won a national award from L’Oreal Paris during a virtual ceremony. The 23-year-old Manchester, New Hampshire native, who lost a leg in a horrific accident a few years ago, beat out nine other women for the big honor.

But winning was only part of the surprise.

“I was shocked. I don’t know if you saw the video, but my instant reaction was to scream up to my mother,” Lambert said. That’s because she was stunned as Academy Award-winning actress, Helen Mirren, surprised her with the announcement. “I want to be the first to officially congratulate you on being named the 2020 L’oreal Paris Women of Worth National Honoree,” Mirren said.

Noelle is also training for the Tokyo Paralympics next August that were postponed from 2020 due to the pandemic.
