Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph recently organized ‘Rudy’s Red Eye Express’ as more than two dozen patients and their families from the University of Minnesota Masonic Children’s Hospital visited the North Pole.
“This is to let them kind of escape what they’re currently going through,” Rudolph said. “A lot of the patients are still in the hospital for a reason, and they’re not able to go home for the holidays.
“To have the opportunity to bring them to the North Pole, it means a ton to me,” he added. “This is pretty special, and I know they’re all extremely excited.
