MDA Event Has Special Meaning for New-Dad Rudolph

MINNEAPOLIS — Kyle Rudolph’s supporting cast recently helped him flex his support for children fighting muscular dystrophy.

Flanked by his wife, Jordan, and twin daughters, Finley Claire and Andersyn Kate, the Rudolphs were proud supporters of the Muscular Dystrophy Association and the organization’s sixth annual MDA Minnesota Muscle Team Gala on Nov. 15.

The Vikings tight end, who became a first-time father in October, has attended the event since 2011. But Rudolph admitted this year’s event meant a little something extra now that he has kids of his own.

“Seeing the struggles and challenges that some of these parents have, they have to adapt their everyday lives to accommodate a chair or a child that has muscle disease, we have to kind of take a step back and realize how lucky we are,” Rudolph said.
