THE TALLEST MAN OF THE WORLD

Hello, today we are going to talk about the record Guinness of the tallest man of the world.

His name is Patrick and he was born in Canada. When he was a child he was very big, but his parents thought that it was only a tall child. When he was 15 years old, his parents started thinking that it wasn’t normal. They decided to bring him to the doctor. There, he told them that Patrick had an illness. He wouldn’t stop growing up until he dies. This illness couldn’t be treated. In that moment, he was 1.87 meters. At school, although he was a very good student and very intelligent, with the pass of the years he started being more insecure about himself and then his schoolmates started to bully him. This affected his marks a lot and his parents decided to bring him to a special school. There, he had a lot of friends and he was an excellent student. He was very happy but when he was 18, he realized that he had to learn to live in a more real life. For this reason, he decided to enter to the University. A few years later, he had a brilliant idea. He started to research how many people had this illness. He saw that there weren’t many affected so he submitted to the Record Guiness. He was 2.53 meters and he won the contest. He received a lot of euros and those ones were destined to research for a solution to this illness.

Today, Patrick is 67 years old and he is 4.17 meters high. He has to move in a wheelchair because he has lost his balance but the research has been very good and now there is a medicine to treat it.
