Why We Rock the Socks
We Rock the Socks to raise awareness for Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB), a rare genetic skin disease often called “the worst disease you’ve never heard of.” where everyday friction can cause painful blisters and wounds.
On February 22, Makenzie turns 10, and instead of just celebrating, she's rallying a team. From her birthday through Rare Disease Day on February 28, we invite friends and family to become Makenzie's Rocks; wear fun socks, share a photo, raise awareness, and recruit others to join the movement.
Small Actions, Big Heart, Real Impact.
All donations support families living with EB through the Rock the Socks Foundation and DEBRA of America.
