HANNIBAL, MO. -- Friday night the Hannibal community is coming together to raise money for a baby battling a life-long disorder.

One in every two thousand babies in the U.S. is born with CDH.

Issac and his family have spent most of their time since his birth at the St. Louis Children's hospital.

A benefit is planned to help his family cover Issac's medical expenses.

The benefit is set for 5 p.m. May 18 at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Hannibal.
