| At the age of five, Broc was diagnosed with Sotos syndrome, also known as gigantism, which caused him to grow abnormally tall. "It's a genetic condition and there's nothing you can do to stop him growing. I don't know if he'll ever stop growing," his mother, Darci, explained. Photo: Barcroft |

| Darci said her son had a tendency to outshine his peers from an early age. He was 5ft 1in in kindergarten and 6ft 1in in middle school, growing to 7ft 1in in high school. Photo: Barcroft |

| Broc is expected to become the world's tallest man by growing about 15cm every year. The current record holder is a Turkish farmer who stands at 2.49m. Photo: Guinness Book of World Records |

| Broc also has heart disease, scoliosis and spinal stenosis. Experts believe he will have to live with severe back pain for the rest of his life. "It feels like a big tennis racket is going through my back," Broc said. Photo: Barcroft |
 |
| Sotos syndrome affects just one in 15,000 people worldwide, but doctors are confident Broc will have a normal life expectancy despite his health problems. Photo: Barcroft |
 |
| Darci hopes her son will have "a good life". "He's a kind giant. His heart is as big as his body," she said. Photo: Barcroft |
