Fact Check: Alec and Kaleb are Alive and Well

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.

• Avoid sharing, commenting, reacting or amplifying
• Report the post and account directly through the platform
• Look to trusted, official sources for accurate information

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