There are only 150 cases of Maffucci confirmed in the world. Stevo was one of them who had it. 

The rare disorder caused his bones to grow in an abnormal pattern, which was prone to breaking.

Maffucci syndrome not only affected his bones, but it also came with a side effect that the one suffering from it increases the chance of developing cancer.

After overcoming multiple cancer, Stevo had hard time-fighting leukemia. 

He fought it for two and a half years and had to go through 11 rounds of chemotherapy and severe pain. But he was only getting sicker.

At that time, his doctor has said to his parents that he had only an 11% chance of survival, of which Stevo was unaware of. 

Doctors also added that he would only survive if he has a successful bone marrow transplant.

Stevo's brother Jacob saved his life

Stevo's younger brother Jacob became his bone marrow donor at the age of four. 

It was Stevo's mother who took the risk of having another child when their first child was born with a rare syndrome.

But even after his brother was born, there was only a 20% chance that the bone marrow would match Stevo's. 

Finally, the result came positive, and the bone marrow was successfully transplanted, which increased Stevo's chance of surviving from 11% to 100%.
