It’s a new week of Jeopardy!
During her run so far, Cindy Stowell has won $62,001. She had pledged to donate all of her winnings to cancer research. Unfortunately, Cindy passed away on December 5; she had competed on the show with stage IV cancer. Her friends and family will also appreciate donations on her behalf to the Cancer Research Institute. Many fans are watching the show and electing to donate $1 for each correct response they give while playing at home, an idea come up with by Chelsea Cohen, one of last Thursday’s challengers!

As a faithful Jeopardy follower i was totally shocked to see her photo with Alex Trebek and read in this morning’s Star about Cindy Stowell and her passing on Dec 5 !! What an incredibly gutsy intelligent and courageous young woman ! I am profoundly saddened but also strangely emboldened by the depth of her inner strength to rise to the top of this challenge she chose to embark on. I haven’t looked at the website before this and am happy that the producers sent her the tapes so she could watch them…. Kudos !
