When she was a teenager, Hadid competed in equestrian competitions and had ambitions to go to the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, but she was forced to stop in 2013 owing to her severe Lyme disease. It wasn’t until October 2015 that her persistent Lyme disease was made public. In 2012, she received the same chronic illness diagnosis as her mother and brother.
