Zohn gets ball rolling on AIDS awareness
Eccentric behavior is a key ingredient of reality television, but for “Survivor: Africa” champion Ethan Zohn, his most unusual exploits have been saved for his time away from our TV screens.
Dribbling a soccer ball 550 miles along the East Coast is not exactly a normal project to undertake. But Zohn, who won $1 million in Survivor’s third series, is not exactly your average character.
After enduring 40 days in Kenya’s Shaba National Reserve without having a single exit vote recorded against him in the popular reality show, Zohn deposited his check, bought some gifts for friends and family and threw himself into launching a charity project aimed at eradicating AIDS from the African population. With soccer being one of the key components of his life, it was no surprise he chose the world game to promote his cause.
