AUBURN -- Wednesday night people are gathering in Auburn to say prayers for Baby Easton struggling from a rare skin disease.

The Cayuga County community has been coming together to help the family and little Easton.

The gathering is being held at Market Street Park at 7 o'clock.

According to the website set up for Easton, he was quickly diagnosed with a severe form of Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB).

EB is a rare genetic skin disease affecting only 1 out of 50,000 births.

In this condition, there is a defect in the connective tissue of the skin and mucous membranes that causes the skin to be so fragile that the slightest friction, minor injury, heat, rubbing, or scratching causes severe blistering.
