Noelle Lambert was born in Londonderry, New Hampshire. Growing up, she attended Londonderry High School before continuing to attend UMass Lowell. She had a standout freshman lacrosse season at UMass, earning America East All-Rookie team honors. During the following summer, Lambert suffered a life-changing injury from a moped crash, resulting in the amputation of her left leg above the knee. Despite the tragedy of the incident, Lambert never let this severe injury defeat her. She returned to the lacrosse field in April of 2018, just 18 months after her injury, where she caught a pass in front of the net and fired a shot past the goalie for a goal. The emotional celebration with her teammates that followed the goal represented a culmination of all the time and effort she had dedicated to getting back on the field, defying the odds of such a devastating injury.

After graduating in 2019, Lambert made the switch from lacrosse to track & field for the US Paralympic National Team. She placed 4th in the 100-meter race at the World Para Athletics championship meet, setting a U.S. record for the race with a time of 16.31 seconds which earned her a spot on Team USA for the 2021 Paralympics in Tokyo. In Tokyo, Lambert finished in 6th place – running the 100-meter race in 15.97 seconds. Not only was this a personal best for Lambert, but 15.97 seconds is now the new American record.

Not one to be satisfied with being a world-class para-athlete in one sport, Noelle took up snowboarding in March of 2021. By November, she was competing at the Europa Cup in The Netherlands where she placed 4th. She has her sight set on competing in the 2026 Winter Paralympics in Italy.

In 2018, Lambert founded The Born to Run Foundation, which aims to provide amputees with prosthetics that will allow them to run again. She believes she can be a source of inspiration and help children who have a limb amputated because she can relate to what they are going through. Noelle will also be appearing in Season 43 of Survivor which will air this September. Furthermore, she has received numerous prestigious awards since her accident including the Boston Celtics’ Heroes Among Us Award, the America East Inspiration Award, and most recently the L’Oreal Paris Women of Worth National Honoree.

Mike Matheny played for four different teams during his thirteen years in the major leagues. He was drafted out of the University of Michigan, (where he later earned his degree in Sports Management and Communications with a concentration in Spanish), playing for the Milwaukee Brewers from 1994 to 1998. Mike joined the Toronto Blue Jays in 1999, and then jumped to the St. Louis Cardinals in the year 2000.

While playing for the Cardinals, Matheny earned three Gold Glove Awards (2000, 2003, 2004) and went to the post-season in four of his five years with the team.

Signed by the San Francisco Giants to a three-year contract, Matheny won a Gold Glove Award in his first season for the Giants in 2005, while winning the prestigious Willie Mac award for his leadership and character. During their rich history, Mike was the first Giant to win the award in his first year as catcher for the team.

Considered one of the great defensive players in the Major Leagues over the last several years of his career, he was one of only three other catchers to play 100 games without a single error. His nickname, used by fans and broadcasters alike, was “The Toughest Man Alive,” after taking a 96mph fastball in the face and playing the next day.

This nickname caught up with him, and after a series of concussions Mike would not be allowed to return to the game. His style of hard-nosed play, that earned him the respect of his teammates, was ultimately the reason that his baseball career ended.

Hired as Cardinals Manager November 14, 2011, Matheny was the youngest in the major leagues at 41 years old. During his tenure with the Cardinals, he won the NL Pennant (2013), won three Division Titles (2013, 2014, 2015), managed the 2014 NL All-Star team, finished 2nd in NL Manager of the Year in 2015, was the first manager in MLB history to go to the postseason in the first four seasons.

Matheny wrote and published The New York Times bestselling book titled The Matheny Manifesto in 2015.

Mike went on to serve as Special Advisor to Player Development for the Kansas City Royals and on October 31, 2019, was named their 17th Manager in franchise history.

Matheny continues to deliver impactful keynote addresses and works with executives on leadership coaching.

Mike has been married to his wife, Kristin, for 29 years. They have 5 children and a growing family of grandchildren.

Mike and Kristin created the Catch 22 Foundation in 2003 with the primary goal of enriching the lives of disadvantaged youth by providing opportunities that would otherwise be unavailable to them. The earliest projects of the foundation included handicapped-accessible baseball fields.

The first field was completed in 2005. After more than 20 years in operation, the foundation has helped to build three baseball fields and two playgrounds that are accessible to children of all abilities. The Catch 22 Foundation has also provided support to organizations such as the Fanconi Anemia Foundation, St. John’s Mercy Medical Center, GO Ministries, Ranken Jordan Pediatric Bridge Hospital, Little Patriots, United Services for Children, SEALKIDS and many more.
