I am 15 and my doctors suspect multiple sclerosis, so it's inspiring to see someone with mobility challenges living a normal routine and doing fun, new things!
Incredible
Wow, Sydney! What a ray of sunshine you have shined in this old man's life! Saw you skiing on Dan Gryder's channel. ad to come here. I'm blessed with being able to learn to walk again after a medical issue caused lots of atrophy. I'm grateful for my opportunity and you showed me without a doubt I can do it. Have a wonderful life and keep on inspiring us!
Grumpy old Dan sent me. The man has little class, himself, but his recommendations are GOLDEN. And you, Sydney, are a true inspiration. At 75 I thought I'd done stuff - but you got it ALL. You are an inspiration - really.Thank You for your bravery and for sharing!
Very well said! With a paraplegic uncle I have seen first hand the challenges and Sydney spirit is a-m-a-z-i-n-g! A true inspiration
Dan is saving lives
You may not call that class,
But I do. And I forgive you
So glad that Dan posted his video recently on your latest waterskiing. It’s good to see another Para, was a quad, learning things aren’t impossible but rather we just have to adapt to make things work our way!! Very proud of you and you being an inspiration for others.
Dan and I love you, kid. I understand the forearm strength it would take anybody to plane that neat chair ski. You are beautiful and you are a rock star.
What do you mean - another para was a quad???
My empathy for you is sincere. My wife (deceased) was paralyzed (quad) in 1982 in a horrible traffic accident (went off Rabbit Ears Pass in a blizzard). Sydney you are my little rock star!!! God bless!!! You are an incredible inspiration to all those who doubt their ability to succeed in some fashion at everything they put their minds to. Congratulations!!! The world needs many, many more role models like you!!!
So sorry for your loss
Just saw Dan's water skiing video and blown away by Ms. Fowler's ski skills. I had to smile and nod when I saw she makes her bed first thing. That's important because it is your first accomplishment of the day and starts your mind off with the discipline required to accomplish anything of significance in your life. I wish you the best of everything Ms. Fowler. You are a very impressive person.
Saw you on Probable Cause. You are an inspiration - a lot of adults could learn from your example. Great job and good luck with your channel.
This is a big thing you are doing. Your positivity will change some lives. CZcams is a lot of work and you’re killing it. Great job.
Dan is an amazing man. His forte is finding and highlighting amazing people. You rock Sydney. Live your life to the fullest.
Over here from Dans channel. My brother in law is a quadriplegic- since age 17 (diving accident). He is 50 now, married and is just as normal as anyone else. Mobility of limbs is surely a challenge but so is life. This young lady has a future and she is right on about just being herself for her CZcams channel. You want people here because of who you are and what you do , not some big time production and not your “real life” if you will.
Great job! You are definitely an inspiration to us all. For a few decades I had a dear, dear friend that was a quad. She had polio back in the 1950’s. They said that she would never live but she made it past her 60th birthday! She was larger than life and was completely unstoppable. She inspired so many every day. She passed a few years back. My life has definitely been richer from having known her. You remind me of her. Keep doing what you do!
The advice to just be yourself is 110% correct. I stumbled onto you from your video explaining how you became paralyzed…and stayed because you are an amazing young lady/person. Keeping being YOU! I am loving your videos and catching-up on your story. Everyone has good days and bad days but keep reminding yourself that you are incredible. You have such a bright future. Can’t wait to see what your future holds!
Came here based on the referral from Dan’s channel I'm 80 years old and in PT too so I can relate to that. Hope your scans turn out OK and they can help you with those problems.
You inspire just by being yourself. I really hope that you find answers to your recent medical issues.
acupuncture can help
You go girl. What an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your ski adventure with Dan. He isn’t the only one who teared up.
Sidney, you're a girl with the right stuff. That can-do attitude of yours is the key to happiness and a life well lived. I'm just an old guy that followed a recommendation from Dan Gryder to witness your journey. You really touched my heart and soul with your spirit. You have drive and determination, and a gift for sharing that inspiration with others. Keep doing what you do.
I saw you on Dan Gryder’s Channel, “Probable Cause”. You are an inspiring young woman who gives hope to everyone you come in contact with. God Bless you!
Sydney, located you from Dan Gryder's channel. You are an inspiration to everyone and just flat out mentally tuff. You may not realize it but you are a support resource for both the young and old. My best to you,
Sydney, I just watched you “fly” on Dan Gryder’s channel …I’m a 73yo man who recently lost my best friend (friends for 58 years) who had polio before we met and was on crutches … a few years back, he lost all feeling below the waist from botched back surgery … he was never My friend on crutches or My friend in a power chair … he was just My friend … we played in band together, we swam together, we played tennis together, we rode my motor scooter together, we flew (I’m a pilot) together, we even dated together with girls who were best friends … I miss him more than I thought possible and your video reminded me so much of him … I loved his spirit and I love that same spirit in you … best of luck in all your endeavors and I just subscribed to your channel …
Hi Sydney, I saw you "sit skiing" on Dan's channel. You are amazing & your spirit flies high. You're going places - such an inspiration!
Brilliant job flying on the water showing Dan how it’s done ! Keep smiling you’re an inspiration !
Hi Sydney, I'm new to your channel! This video was in my recommended.
I want to say I admire your independancy. You may be a paraplegic, but you're clearly not letting that get you down. You drive yourself to the places you have to be, you do everything you can do help yourself etc and I have much respect. So many times have I seen paralysed teens or adults just give up on life and rely on others to take them from A to B, or don't leave the house at all.
Keep up the good work and I wish you so much happiness for the future!
Just a ‘hello’ from Hartlepool in NE England. Stumbled across you thanks to Dan Gryder - a pretty down-to-earth tyoe of fella whose reaction to your escapades on water was really touching. Wishing you all the very best and thanks for giving so many of us a lift. Love your normality when so much around you isn’t. X
This video came in perfect timing, long videos always help me focus while doing chores ect. ✨💓 Thank you for your content Sydney
I saw you on Dan Gryder's channel, and here I am. You are an amazing young women and great inspiration for everyone! Keep doing what you do and all the best luck to you!
Sydney - Dan recommended your skiing video. Your strength and perseverance are an inspiration! Prayers you get your pain sorted. Please keep up with the videos so we can see how you are doing. Best to you!
So glad Dan pointed me in your direction Sydney! Truly you are a miracle and a WINNER today! Thanks for sharing your day with all of us.
Came here based on the referral from Dan’s channel... Your positive attitude towards everything is so amazing. Don’t let anything slow you down or limit your enthusiasm!
Loved seeing you water skiing on Dan's channel. You can do anything. Girl power rules. Never stop what you are doing. thanks for being a leader and inspiration to all of those who need some encouragement. what you are doing is powerful and significant. You are also a beautiful woman with a beautiful soul.

Old Man Dan sent me too! And I am glad he did as you are a highly talented young lady with determination and drive to keep going forward and never looking back! You go girl!
Hello Sydney! I just discovered you on here and I must say that I'm sincerely impressed with your attitude in relation to everything you have been through. I'm a paraplegic myself, born with Spina Bifida and so I know first hand what you're going through. Obviously our situations are a bit different but our attitudes are just the same! You are an inspiration, you are such a pretty, young lady and I look forward to seeing your journey unfold as you continue to move forward in your life!! Thanks for sharing with all of us!!
Good morning Sydney, keep up being you. Saw your story on Dan’s channel. That skiing was amazing. You can do anything you put your mind too. Keep being an inspiration to all.
I'm SO GLAD that Dan recommended your channel, Sidney!! I've subscribed and will be following you! May the sun always shine on you!!
Just want to add my congratulations and echo most of the comments below. Thank you for sharing your inner thoughts as well as the depiction of how you overcome all challenges.
You have inspired me today.
Please remember you also have the right to privacy whenever you need it for a rest. You won't be disappointing anyone or letting them down.
I wish all success to your channel - and especially to *you.*
Hey girl! I know your purpose, it is to be here and help others find the joy in their lives! I know the ups and downs can be hard, but you have so many things to look forward too and you are so perfect!
Another Gryder fan and long time water skier saying I’m totally impressed with the water ski accomplishment. BRAVO! You are the hero.
Hi Sydney!!! 👋🏼 I just want to say how greatful I am that you take the time to post so regularly and the level of quality content you create is astounding! It has really helped me with my mental health recently as I have had quite a tough time with a newly diagnosed illness that is taking a massive toll on my school life as I am 15 and doing lots of mock exams in the UK at the moment :/ people were making fun of me because I have episodes where I can't breathe and I faint and it was really hard, but I always try to think of how you would stay calm and positive and explain to them what is happening and not get frustrated. Thank you again
A very greatful subscriber from the uk xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
You are awesome! Thanks for the inspiration to everyone with your positive attitude. Your dad is right about your natural self being the best. No pressure…people appreciate real in a world of over produced fake things.
Stay strong and keep up the good work!
PS, heard about you on Dan’s aviation channel.
Thanks for letting us spend a day with you Sydney. I'm 72 and it's amazing what you have taught me in 20 minutes. I'll keep watching and praying for positive results from your CT-Scans. Let us know if you can. Most of all, don't change.
A fellow social water skier from Sydney, Australia stopping by to let you know how much of a legend you are. I saw you carving turns on Dan's channel.
Keep being a kick arse inspiration to us all 👍
So glad Dan featured you on his channel. You are such an inspiration to others and you also made a lot of men cry. Best of luck to you in anything you choose to do in life.😍
Dan Gryders video just had me in tears........ tears of happiness, Sydney your will power is astounding !!!!!
I think your words in this video are spot on .... "People watch you, because they like who you are"
don't feel like you have to "Put on a show" just live your life and keep "doing what you do"
Best wishes
Chris

Syd,
Your strength, courage, and will power inspire me to live my best life, everyday. I was 26 when I was diagnosed with APL, which is a rare and aggressive Leukemia (caused by nasty chemicals used on advanced military jet engines). That was 12 years ago, and you remind me, that strength is found in many places. Thank You for the Inspiration
Just saw you water ski over on Dans channel! What an athlete!! You’re a beautiful young lady Sidney. I’m just sad you had to go through EMOTIONAL DAMAGE by seeing Dan take off his shirt!
I must admit you put your make up on much better than I do
You are amazing and an inspiration to all!!! Keep it up!!❤️❤️❤️
I'm another fan of Dan, and his video of you "flying" was his best ever! Always remember, "This life is just a spiritual test, nothing more and nothing less." And I think you are acing your test Sydney, you are very inspiring!
I’m here from Dan gryders channel. The people need you. You are such an amazing soul. You may not even realize yet that this was your soul plan. To overcome and share your inspiration with the world. You are helping so many people by taking that first step for so many others. Bless you and your family for helping support you in your amazing journey of Light Work.
Next up, flight training with Dan?
Saw you on Dan's video. You are a beautiful woman and an inspiration to us all! Keep it up! God bless.
Dan sent me! Hope you don’t mind another old guy follower, at one point in my life mobility was a big challenge to me and seeing you at the walker put a big smile on my face whether or not you intend it you are inspiring people.
Hi Sydney! Just came from Dan Gryder's channel and want to say that you are a true inspiration. Keep up the good work and God bless you! ❤
You have no idea how much your videos mean to people or how much they inspire others. IM 27 and all I know to say is just keep going and pushing forward no matter what obstacles get in your way. I’m sure you’ve heard a million versions of that but it’s just too true not to reassure of it. 💕
Sydney, you ARE an inspiration to us all. You are wise beyond your years and have an awesome future. You do YOU with your channel and you'll be just fine. Life is a roller coaster, so enjoy the ride. We have to have some lows ins order to appreciate the highs. Crusty ol' Dan Gryder sent a bunch of us over here and I'm pretty sure a lot of us are gonna subscribe and stick around. If your lucky, you'll only get the nice ones and not the argumentative one's that like to hate on Dan. LOL
I just subscribed, I love how genuine you are🤍☺️ you have such a great attitude and your so strong. I agree with your Dad 💛
You are an amazing person with and even better outlook on life. Love seeing you make the most of it. Keep it up!👍
I broke my back when i was 14. Shattered L1-L2. T12 and L3 where cracked. They did a T12-L3 fusion on me. They told my parents id be lucky if i could ever walk normal again. I came out of the hospital and no one could hold me back. I was back riding my back and hanging out with friends within a couple weeks of being home. That was 34 years ago and im atill going strong.
Awesome job! Nothing is out of the question, makes me feel pretty small as I need two skiis, but unlike Dan I can keep them on. If you're ever in Texas let us know. You are inspirational!
Was made aware of your channel by Dan... Keep up the great work you are doing. Your determination and energy is a lesson to us all that we can really do anything we want if we want it... Best wishes from the UK. 🙂
Old fellow named Dan told me to come here. Saw you skiing and thought you were having a great time out there--truly an inspiration for sure. Looking at the comments everyone else thinks so too. Good luck with your channel and....don't let anyone ever tell you that you can't do something. Carry on.
hi sydney. just hopped over from dan gryders channel. wow! youre pretty amazing. i thought from dans video youd been doing the waterskiing thing for awhile.
ive got severe arthritis, and hurt all the time. ive got some mobility issues but can get around under my own steam most of the time. its pretty easy to feel bitter, and grumpy and feel sorry for myself sometimes. but its pretty hard to after seeing you getting out there living life. that in and of itself is pretty inspiring to me. you dont need to do backflips to be inspiring. just showing up for life can be pretty inspiring sometimes. dotn feel you need to push yourself too hard for the sake of others. just be yourself. it seems like youve got the motivation part covered in spades! yeah not every day can be a good day, but each day is a new opportunity. its easy to forget that sometimes. anyway, stay strong and keep pushing your limits.
oh, and give kitty scritches from me!!!
Hi Sydney, like many others today I came here from Dan's channel - and subscribed. You are truly inspirational. Small world too, I live just 10 minutes from your ski club! Best wishes for a great summer - maybe Dan will get you up flying in the near future?!
You go girl! Love the water ski video! Thank for the inspiration!
Dan sent me, now honored to follow you, as well. You, young lady, are an inspiration on many levels to tens of thousands of friends you may never meet. Feel their love and admiration. Carry on and God bless. You are judged by the company you keep, and Dan is fine, fine company. All best to you and thank you.
Dan sent me over. Enjoyed your video…. What an inspiration! Thank you for being such a positive person. I wish you the very best.
looks like trophy lakes where you were skiing, all the best and prayers to you!!!! thank you for sharing your story you're an inspiration to all!!!
The amount of energy you have is awesome , keep up the great work ! Oh yeah saw you on Dan's Probable Cause channel.
Sydney saw you on Dan’s Probable Cause channel. So glad I watched it as you are one brave young lady. Keep living your life to the fullest as you are a inspiration to many.
What an awesome inspiration you are. You made me cry, smile, feel sad, feel laughter, everything all In one little segment of Dans video. Best of luck to you and keep smiling.
Hey Sydney!
Dan Gryder sent me here with his heart full of respect and gratitude !
May God bless you and keep you in His hands as you are a blessing to all who learn about you!
Saw you on “Probable Cause”, you are an inspirational and beautiful young lady full of life and courage! Keep it up.
Yea, Sydney! great skiing with Dan Gryder. So fun to watch you having water fun.
Sydney, you are just fine as you are. Never change. The watersking was pretty awe inspiring, I do allI can to stay up. I am so hoping your scans are nothing serious and can be easily fixed. For some reason your first video came up on my feed, and here I am! LOL! I think I will just stay. Subscribed. I want to see where your adventures take you next. 😊
Came over from Dan's channel. Thank you Sydney! You're an awesome inspiration.
Prayers that your get answers on your health sweetheart. Yes don’t put so much pressure on yourself. You are an amazing person just being you. 💐💐🌸🌷 Blessings
I enjoyed seeing your ski apparatus, and I admire you for using it. I just got an Offroad mobility scooter and have been enjoying just looking around places I can’t walk but want to.
Keep it up, you’ll do great!
hi Sydney just saw you water skiing on Dan's video great job and it looks like a lot of fun. what an inspiration to so many of us thank you looking forward to see more of you all the best and good luck
I’m here from Dan’s channel. Keep doing great things young lady. As a younger man, I used to enjoy skiing as well. As an older man, I just enjoy watching others. I don’t heal up like I used to. You ought to take a flight with Dan sometime. It’ll change your perspective on the world. There’s a lot of it out there. Sending positive vibes from North Carolina. Much love🤙🏻
So proud of you, welldone coping so well with all.
Your so pretty.
Definitely you need to just be you! Some days will be amazing and some days will suck, this is the same for all of us! It was nice to see you go water skiing! Hope you have a awesome summer!
Thanks to Dan for introducing us to this inspiring young woman! God bless you and your future Sydney!
Will you please give us an update once your results come back? Thank you for sharing your life with us! ❤️
Saw your video water skying in Dan's channel I was really impressed! I was looking for a good old Rant-by-Dan and instead got blown away by what you can do -Just awesome!
Great video! I'm happy you included the first song (Blondie); never heard it before and really like it 👍
Your sit- skiing is amazing...blew me away 😮
I love the consistent uploads. I enjoy the videos the way they are, you just being yourself. What happens with most channels, many I formerly supported, is they grow, they change, they start basically faking it, and I lose interest. I hope your medical results were good. I have the issue when eating, in my case I'm assuming its stress causing it though.
You are AMAZING and never let anyone tell you that you are not! My life changed in an accident and I lost my right leg, I didn’t have any physio for two years as the wound wouldn’t heal, I now have a prosthesis but I can’t use it I was so poorly I collapsed at home rushed to hospital, my kidneys failed from covid, I was once again unable to have physio as I then had pneumonia, I am now suffering from horrendous phantom pains, I have to say they are horrific and the itching where there is no leg is cruel I go nuts!
You are a very beautiful, independent woman, your personality and humour is great and you have such a wonderful intelligence, your future is definitely very bright!
❤️❤️❤️
Just saw you on Dan Gryders channel. You’re an amazing young woman. A real inspiration. God bless you.
You are one absolutely beautiful and *AWESOME* young lady! So many people would benefit from watching your videos.
