Hearts Fans Honor Rudi Abbott

Edinburgh Hearts fans are coming together to honor eight-year-old Rudy Abbott, a die-hard

supporter who sadly passed away on January 6 after.

Battling a rare brain tumor.

Diagnosed with pineal blastoma back in 2020, Rudy fought through three years of tough

treatment, including a fundraising push that raised over $110,000 for care in the U.S.

The community has poured out love for this wee warrior, which tributes lighting up social

media since his family shared the news of his peaceful, passing at home.

Now, supporters plan a special minute's applause in the eighth minute of Hearts match against

St. Mirren on January 13 at Time Castle, kicking off at 7.45pm.

Rudy's family called it a great idea, saying he'd be thrilled.

A private funeral happens next week, and if you want to help, donations to the brain tumor

charity mean the world, keeping Rudy's spirit alive in every heartbeat.
