Ethan Zohn

Ethan Zohn is a "Survivor" winner, cancer survivor, keynote speaker, a brand ambassador for Momenta, and continues to be active in cancer research and health advocacy.

He is a former professional soccer player, and reality television series contestant who won Survivor: Africa, the third season of the reality TV series Survivor. He went on to compete in Survivor: All-Stars and Survivor: Winners at War, where he placed 11th and 18th, respectively.

After winning Survivor: Africa, Zohn co-founded Grassroot Soccer, an adolescent health organization that uses soccer to engage young people around navigating their most pressing health challenges, including HIV/AIDS and mental health. In 2010, he ranked 14th in USL Second Division's Top 15 of the Decade list as one of the most influential players of the United Soccer League Second Division in the previous decade. "Soccer is more than just a game; it's a vehicle for social change," Zohn often says, emphasizing the role of Grassroot Soccer in combating health issues globally.

On April 30, 2009, Zohn was diagnosed with a rare type of cancer called CD20-positive Hodgkin's lymphoma. He started chemotherapy in May 2009. On September 14, 2009, he disclosed that after three months of intensive chemotherapy, his cancer returned. He underwent a new treatment, including a stem-cell transplant, to battle the rare form of Hodgkin's disease. Zohn received a "clean CT scan" in late April 2010 and remained in remission for nearly 20 months. In September 2011, Zohn confirmed that the cancer had returned in his chest. In early March 2013, Zohn announced via The Jeff Probst Show that he was cancer-free due to "two rounds of stem cell transplants" that he received from his brother.
