2nd Annual Ribbons of Survivors 365 2019 - Group Pic.jpg

Coach Mea Allman is the founded Ribbons of Survivors 365 in October to honor breast cancer survivors. As a  21-year breast cancer survivor, health advocate, and a certified life, health, and nutrition coach her mission is to educate and bring awareness about various causes. For many survivors, or those who are still battling their illnesses/conditions we are the voices that paint a portrait in sharing personal testimonies of overcoming challenges, to find encourage and hope to inspire others to continue their journey to strive, thrive, and survive. In addition, all year long we share vital national health monthly observances to provide updated health information on our Facebook pages, and on Glow 365 monthly virtual show. These men and women stand in their truth, as strong warriors of hope and courage! Below meet all our Ribbons of Survivors 365 Ambassadors.

Meet Our Ribbons of Survivors 365 Ambassadors

Our Anti-Bully Ambassadors Ribbons of Survivors Ambassadors 365

Bullying is the use of force, coercion, or threat, to abuse, aggressively dominate or intimidate. The behavior is often repeated and habitual. One essential prerequisite is the perception (by the bully or by others) of an imbalance of physical or social power. This imbalance distinguishes bullying from conflict. Bullying is a subcategory of aggressive behavior characterized by the following three minimum criteria: (1) hostile intent, (2) imbalance of power, and (3) repetition over a period of time. Bullying is the activity of repeated, aggressive behavior intended to hurt another individual, physically, mentally, or emotionally. More information about types of Bullying, warning signs, please visit https://www.stopbullying.gov/bullying/what-is-bullying

Our Autism Ribbons of Survivors Ambassadors 365

Autism is a developmental disorder characterized by difficulties with social interaction and communication, and by restricted and repetitive behavior. Parents often notice signs during the first three years of their child's life. These signs often develop gradually, though some children with autism experience worsening in their communication and social skills after reaching developmental milestones at a normal pace. Autism spectrum, also known as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), is a range of mental disorders of the neurodevelopmental type. It includes autism and Asperger syndrome. Individuals on the autistic spectrum often experience difficulties with social communication and interaction and restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior, interests, or activities. Symptoms are typically recognized between one and two years of age. Long-term problems may include difficulties in performing daily tasks, creating and keeping relationships, and maintaining a job. More information, please visit https://nationalautismassociation.org

Our Cancer Ribbons of Survivors Ambassadors 365

Cancer refers to any one of a large number of diseases characterized by the development of abnormal cells that divide uncontrollably and have the ability to infiltrate and destroy normal body tissue. Cancer often has the ability to spread throughout your body. Cancer is the second-leading cause of death in the world. But survival rates are improving for many types of cancer, thanks to improvements in cancer screening and cancer treatment. More information on various types of cancer, please visit https://www.cancer.org/cancer.html.

Our Domestic Violence Ambassadors Ribbons of Survivors Ambassadors 365

Domestic Violence is the willful intimidation, physical assault, battery, sexual assault, and/or other abusive behavior as part of a systematic pattern of power and control perpetrated by one intimate partner against another. It includes physical violence, sexual violence, psychological violence, and emotional abuse. The frequency and severity of domestic violence can vary dramatically; however, the one constant component of domestic violence is one partner’s consistent efforts to maintain power and control over the other.

Our Greaves Disease & Lupus Ribbons of Survivors Ambassadors 365

Graves' Disease is an immune system disorder that results in the overproduction of thyroid hormones (hyperthyroidism). Although a number of disorders may result in hyperthyroidism, Graves' disease is a common cause. Thyroid hormones affect many body systems, so signs and symptoms of Graves' disease can be wide ranging. Although Graves' disease may affect anyone, it's more common among women and in people younger than age 40. Lupus is a systemic autoimmune disease that occurs when your body's immune system attacks your own tissues and organs. Information caused by lupus can affect many different body systems — including your joints, skin, kidneys, blood cells, brain, heart and lungs. Lupus can be difficult to diagnose because its signs and symptoms often mimic those of other ailments. The most distinctive sign of lupus — a facial rash that resembles the wings of a butterfly unfolding across both cheeks — occurs in many but not all cases of lupus. More information, please visit https://www.mayoclinic.org
