Alex Trebek may be gone, but many people have kept his memory alive — especially his wife, Jean Trebek. Since the “Jeopardy!” host lost his heroic battle with pancreatic cancer, Jean has been at the forefront of an effort to help raise money for the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. In May, Alex’s widow spoke with People about her efforts to raise funds for the organization near and dear to her heart, considering she lost her husband to the same disease. “It’s a little bittersweet because this was the disease that took Alex’s human life,” she told the outlet. “But, I also know what it pulled from him. His courage, his strength, and that was what Alex, I know, wants to be remembered for.”
Jean participated in PanCAN’s Purple Stride Walk & Run at the Los Angeles Zoo, which helped raise money for the organization. Like Jean, Alex’s children also attended the event, vowing to keep their promise to the late star and raise awareness for pancreatic cancer. On November 21, 2021, Jean also shared a post on her Instagram feed to reveal that she was working with The Compassion Project on behalf of Alex. The post also happened to come on the first anniversary of Alex’s death. “One of his final messages was that of the importance of having compassion for each other,” she wrote in the caption. In addition, Jean’s post also included a video to help raise awareness. How sweet is that?
