1. Montel Williams
Actor, Emmy award-winning talk show host, motivational speaker and former U.S. marine, Montel Williams is a force to be reckoned with. So when he found out he had MS in 1999, he put his considerable talents to fighting the disease and helping find a cure. A year after his diagnosis he launched the Montel Williams MS Foundation to help fund research and raise national awareness about MS. So far the foundation has distributed more than $1.5 million to research entities that are studying MS.
