James Holzhauer, the Jeopardy champ who recently won almost $2 million on the show, just donated to a local walk benefiting pancreatic cancer research, and he made the donation in Alex Trebek's name.
Holzhauer donated $1,109.14 — the numbers for the birthday of his daughter Natasha, who sent Trebek a homemade card — and left the following message on the donation website: “For Alex Trebek and all the other survivors.”
Trebek--who has hosted Jeopardy since 1984--announced in March that he had been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer and planned to fight the disease and continue hosting the show. He stated in May that his cancer was in "near remission" and his tumors had shrunk by 50%.
