'Jeopardy!' champ donates to a cancer walk in Alex Trebek's name

Holzhauser reportedly accompanied the donation with a message that refers to the “Jeopardy!” host: “For Alex Trebek and all the other survivors.”

The Canadian “Jeopardy!” host, who’s been the host of the syndicated TV program since it was revived in 1984,, Trebek said he felt “tears of joy” when he was told his cancer was in “near remission.” Ann Zediker, an employee for the cancer walk, told the Tribune that she had asked Holzhauser if he was interested in joining the campaign. She told the newspaper he declined but sent the donation instead.

The walk will raise funds for the Lustgarten Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer Research, which says it dedicates 100 per cent of the donations to pancreatic cancer research. In his “Jeopardy!” run, Holzhauser won US$2,464,216 in total, but fell $56,484 short of the all-time winnings record set by Ken Jennings.

Bless his heart! ❤

$1109.14/$2464216 = .00045% of his winnings how generous!!
