A Long Island family with a child who has an extremely rare skin disease is asking the public to step up and complete two challenges that may help their daughter on the road to recovery.

Makenzie Cadmus was born with a disease called EB for short. Her mom, Liz, says Makenzie needs to wear bandages all over her body because her skin is as delicate as a butterfly's wings.

The family is traveling to a Minneapolis hospital next week to try an experimental bone marrow transplant that will hopefully allow Makenzie to produce enough collagen necessary for her skin to protect itself.

The bone marrow will be coming from her 6-year-old brother Crosby, who is the best match.

The $2 million procedure is not fully covered, but it's the only option they have for a better future for Makenzie.

In honor of Makenzie's second birthday in less than two weeks, her parents are asking the community to participate in the #SockIt2EB challenge. The challenge involves wearing socks on people’s hands to see what it's like to perform everyday tasks, and see what a person with EB faces every day.

The second challenge intends to make Makenzie laugh through the pain she will endure during her procedures. Her parents wants the community to take a pie to the face and post the video to Facebook with the hashtag #LetThePiesFly4EB.

The family has also set up a GoFundMe page for donations.
