Reality show fans will recognize Ethan Zohn, 37, and girlfriend Jenna Morasca, 30, as past Survivor winners. But the couple is looking to pull from more than just their time in the wild to finish first. "What we have been through the past two years has not been the greatest," Zohn said of surviving cancer. "To be able to come out on top and then go away and travel the world – it's a celebration." But Morasca clarified: "A stressful celebration." 20524410%2C00.html,http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20524410,00.html

I work for a regional campus of a university and he came to speak to our new students (Jenna came with him). His talk was really inspirational and I got to spend about 1/2 hour talking to them after the students left. I have a picture with them but have no idea how to post it here or I would lol.
