Villagers will be trick or treating to raise money to help a baby and others like him who have a rare genetic skin condition.

Mayland resident Rita Coker and at least 11 others were inspired by one-year-old Daniel Maples, who has ichthyosis and lives in the village.

His skin grows six times faster than normal, which he constantly sheds, and it becomes very dry and thick.

The condition can also be life threatening.

Daniel's supporters will be out in the village tomorrow between 6pm and 8pm asking for donations for the Ichthyosis Support Group, which has helped Daniel’s parents Emma Holby and Steve Maples.

They will have leaflets and collection boxes as proof.
