Celebrities Who Have Kicked Breast Cancer, Help Others Do The Same (SLIDESHOW)

For the celebrity who beats breast cancer, playing the role of activist is one that hardly gets old. As Breast Cancer Awareness Month gets under way, stars who have struggled with, and bravely fought the disease, continue to fiercely advocate for those confronting the very same battle. Whether they're establishing nonprofits that offer screenings for the uninsured, or raising funds for research, these famous stars continue to throw their names--and their time--behind to cause, to help find a cure.
