Bella Hadid’s “Dream Come True”: Overcoming Lyme Disease to Rule the Runway
Despite dealing with symptoms of the disease every day—whether it's memory issues or feeling physically ill—Hadid was able to walk the runway in her second Victoria's Secret Fashion Show this year. And since she had to give up her lifelong dream of competing in equestrian events at the Olympics, she couldn't be happier that she's continuing to fulfill a new one.
"In my health, I feel so much stronger in so many ways and I am so grateful to all who have supported me, believed in me, and stood by me." —Bella Hadid
In a recent Instagram post, Hadid opened up about her struggles—and how she's so thankful for conquering them in Monday night's show in Shanghai.
"What a dream come true. This year felt like my first year all over again. Emotionally, physically, mentally; in my health, I feel so much stronger in so many ways and I am so grateful to all who have supported me, believed in me, and stood by me," she wrote. "Yesterday was so unreal on so many levels. I am grateful. I am happy. I am humbled. And I just can't stop smiling thinking about it!"
It just goes to show: Whether you're hooked up to an IV nearly every day like Hadid or another struggle in your personal life, you can get through it. Nothing can get between you and your dreams.
