It was an especially meaningful moment for Avril, since it was her first performance after opening up about her battle with Lyme disease (http://www.popsugar.com/celebrity/Avril-Lavigne-Talks-About-Her-Lyme-Disease-Diag**sis-37196788) in 2014. The singer, who stunned in a black floor-length gown, took to Instagram following her time on stage to write: "Ho**red to have performed my song Fly at the opening ceremony for the Special Olympics tonight. . . . This was a very beautiful night for me. Congratulations to all the athletes. Thank you to everyone who supports the Avril Lavigne Foundation. It has been a difficult year fighting through Lyme Disease for me and I am so happy to have made it on stage tonight for the first performance in a year. Thank you for having me and please enjoy my song Fly. I wrote this song to encourage people who are facing challenges, to encourage strength and to empower. Xoxo."
