Stephen Ludwig aka Stevo is 22 years old and is from North Carolina. Stephen was born with a extremely rare bone disease called Maffucci's syndrome. There are only 250 people in the world that have been diagnosed with Maffucci's. His condition causes his bones to grow in all different shapes and sizes around his body. The most noticeable difference is that one of his legs is 9 inches shorter than the other. To make up for the difference he wears a big platform on the bottom of his shoe. The remarkable thing is that despite his limitations he still excels at sports and has an extremely competitive nature.
