Recently, inaccurate posts on social media have caused understandable concern about Alec and Kaleb’s wellbeing.
We want to reassure everyone, Alec and Kaleb are well and remain loved and important members of the Shriners Children’s community.
They have represented our organization with authenticity, humor, and heart for many years, and continue to be deeply valued by all who know their stories. This situation is a reminder of how quickly misinformation can spread and why thoughtful responses matter. If you encounter content online that seems misleading, it’s appreciated that you:
- Avoid sharing, commenting, reacting or amplifying
- Report the post and account directly through the platform

Reporting false content helps platforms identify and remove misinformation, reducing its reach and protecting our community.
