CBS’ “Survivor” is a competitive battle of wills with a million-dollar jackpot waiting for the winner. For Ethan Zohn, survivor is a title he will carry with him for the rest of his life.

Not only did he win “Survivor: Africa” in 2001, but he also beat a rare blood cancer, first diagnosed in 2009, on two separate occasions. Zohn uses the publicity from the show to educate the public on the deals and how to deal with the diagnosis. He also used part of his monies to co-found Grassroot Soccer, an organization that helps raise money to fight HIV/AIDS.
