Brenden Adams is tallest boy
- 8 years ago
Ellensburg, Wash., is home to a truly unique young man: 12-year-old Brenden Adams, who is more than seven feet tall and, incredibly, still growing.\r

Brendens unstoppable growth caused by mismatched chromosomes.\r
\r
He towers over his classmates and even his teacher, Gretchen Holmstrom, who jokingly quipped, Im 59, so I never look up to sixth graders -- until this yearnever say never!\r
\r
And though friends say Brenden is just a regular kid, hes obviously not like anybody else. He has to duck through most doorways and sit sideways at his school desk because his knees dont fit under it.\r
\r
In his moms sport utility vehicle, he has to fold down the second row of seats, sit in the third row and stretch his legs out over the middle row in order to sit comfortably. His shoe size? 18 and still growing.
