Myself
My name is Scott and i am 16 years old i am 6feet 7 tall and i have still got another few years left to grow.
I have created this site to raise awareness of the good and bad points that people face when they are tall.
I hope to be able to show all of the people that dislike there height that being tall is a gift.
I will also shed light on some of the reasons why people like myself may be of such heights, and will then list contact details of people who are experts in this field.

Medical
Gigantism:
Gigantism refers to the excessive linear growth that occurs with growth hormone (GH) excess when epiphyseal growth plates are open during childhood, whereas acromegaly indicates the disorder of GH excess in adulthood
Marfan Syndrome:
Marfan syndrome is a heritable disorder of the connective tissue that affects many organ systems, including the skeleton, lungs, eyes, heart and blood vessels. The condition affects both men and women of any race or ethnic group. It is estimated that at least 200,000 people in the United States have the Marfan syndrome or a related connective tissue disorder.
It has become the official charity of Tall Clubs International due to the fact that one of the symptoms of Marfan Syndrome is disproportionate growth usually, but not always, resulting in tall stature.
