Man Walks Across Country for MS
27-year-old Stephen Homsey walked from Massachusetts to California to help raise money and awareness for multiple sclerosis. He started his 3,473 mile journey six months ago and was reunited with his family and friends at Loews Coronado Bay Resort as the Finish Line.
His story is pretty amazing- along the way, he has encountered hot weather and rainy storms. He has been chased by dogs and nearly hit by trucks. He has stayed overnight at campgrounds, with people who have MS, fire stations, churches, community centers and hotels. Check out my video of Homsey crossing the finish line.
“For the last 20 years, we’ve been proud to support the efforts of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and their work to create a world free from MS,” said Brian Johnson, general manager of Loews Coronado Bay Resort. “Stephen is truly a very inspirational story of courage and determination, and we are honored he will conclude his cross-country walk at our hotel.”
Homsey began his journey on May 10 from his hometown of Winchester, Mass. Along the way, he has collected about $9,000 in donations from individuals. He hopes to raise $30,000 and plans to donate the money for MS research.
Homsey does not have the disease himself, but said an injury gave him the inspiration to do something to help those with MS, a chronic, unpredictable and disabling disease of the central nervous system with no known cause, cure or prevention.
In May 2009, he fell 40 feet off a Boston apartment building, leaving him immobile for two months and unable to walk for six. During his recovery from a broken back, two broken heels, a broken left ankle and one broken wrist in two places, Homsey said he developed a greater understanding for people with MS.
“During my rehabilitation I realized how lucky I was and how fragile life is,” said Homsey, a 2008 Virginia Tech graduate. “In the many hours of down time I was able to do research about multiple sclerosis. I could relate to the loss of mobility. Fortunately mine was temporary, but there are many people who are not so fortunate. With my second chance I made a vow to make the most out of every day and give back as much as I could. Craving the open road, I decided to walk across the country, see the true inner happening of the states, making stops at various cities along the way, and take the opportunity to help and better the approximately 400,000 individuals in the country who have MS.”
Homsey crossed the California state line on Nov. 1. Details of his trip can be viewed at his website, www.steps4MS.org. Along the way, Homsey has encountered hot weather and rainy storms. He has been chased by dogs and nearly been hit by trucks. He has stayed alone overnight at campgrounds and with people who have MS. Additional overnight venues have included fire stations, churches, community centers and hotels, as well as members of the Financial Planning Association (FPA), a trade group Linda Homsey belongs to.
“The response from people has been incredible, a lot of people are touched and inspired, because it seems everyone knows somebody who has MS,” said Stephen. “I’ve been inspired to meet people living with MS who have such positive attitudes. They are happy at living one day at a time. We live in a wonderful, very generous country, with people who are friendly and caring. There are a lot of amazing people out there with inspiring stories that I’ll never forget. It’s been an amazing trip.”

Doorbell Desensitization Ding, Dong! Are you and your
Doorbell Desensitization Ding, Dong! Are you and your dog ready for the trickiness of Trick or Treating this year? If your dog barks and runs at the door every time the doorbell rings, then this article on noise desensitization is for you. First, what is the barking all about? Doorbells signal change, and the introduction of an outsider to your environment. Barking can be a sign of excitement or anxiety related to these events. They may be guarding your home, or they may be welcoming your guests. In either case, you need to help your dog to relax. To do this you will need a clicker. If you do not have one, they are available at the register at most pet stores or through your trainer. If you have not used one of these during your training, a clicker is a small device with a button that you press to make a consistent noise. This noise will signify when your dog does something correctly. Prior to training, you must charge the clicker, or give it significance to your canine, by clicking the clicker and giving your dog a small, favorite, tasty treat several times in a row without training. Click! Treat. Click! Treat. You will notice that soon your dog will look your way as soon as you click because they understand that a treat is on its way. Second, you will need to create situations that simulate the doorbell environment that you want to change. You will need to have set-up doorbell ringing situations where you are prepared to train your dog. If guests and family members call ahead and are willing to ring the bell for you when they arrive, this is an easy way to naturally create this environment. Otherwise, you will need to employ volunteers to ring the doorbell for you. Have the person ring the bell, then click and treat the dog BEFORE it barks. Have the person repeat their ring several times at 30-60 second intervals. Each time, the dog gets rewarded for being attentive but not barking. Do not open the door every time. This will signal to the dog that just because the door is ringing, there is not necessarily someone waiting to come into their territory. Make sure to have your dog on a leash so that they cannot run to the door. Instead, guide them to come to you when the ring sounds for their click and reward. As your dog clues in to your training and becomes more relaxed at the bell, introduce verbal praise and wait longer and longer after the bell to click and reward the dog. Eventually, the doorbell will signal the need for calm energy to receive their reward, rather than a time to become excited and charge the door. Thirdly, now that you understand the basic premise, here is the doorbell workup routine to prepare yourself for the big day provided by watchandtrain.com: Have your dog on-leash. The time that your dog spends running towards the door barking can feed into his behavior and cause it to continue. Warm him up initially at the beginning of sessions, then do "cold trials". Warm up - one ring, one treat with your dog right near the door, maybe even having him see you press the bell. You can say "Ready?" to give him even more of a hint that you are about to start "the game". Harder - you are farther away from the front door. Even harder - farther still where you try for two or three rings between treats. Say "Good Boy" after each bell and only click and treat (C/T) after the second or third ring. Ready for an even larger challenge? Train your dog to go to another room when the doorbell rings by having your click and treat supplies in another room. When the bell rings, call them to you. Guide them with the leash to your location, if necessary. When they arrive, award them with a click and treat. This will defuse the door-rushing behavior that can sometimes add excitement to the doorbell situation. During these exercises, if your dog shows signs of anxiety (heavy panting, pacing, shaking, etc) or does not seem to be progressing, then you are moving too quickly. Remember, the idea is to reduce stress on your dog. You will need to do many repetitions of each step to fully desensitize your dog. If you would like a one-on-one demonstration of these exercises, please give us a call. We will be happy to help you.
