Roman the Rock
by Nick Lees • Edmonton Journal
Indefatigable Dr. Roman Bayrock is helping his Riverview Rotary Club run a “Shred Fest” Saturday, June 27. (Kingsway Mall, Edmonton, North Parking Lot)
“We are offering to shred people’s old tax returns and other sensitive papers,” says chiropractor Bayrock. “Funds raised will help some of the many inner-city children who have never owned a new pair of shoes. “These youngsters have never experienced the many positive benefits of wearing a good pair of shoes and our plan is to see every child at Delton Elementary School in a new pair of running shoes by Oct. 31.”
People can see their papers shredded in front of them from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the north parking lot at Kingsway Mall. The cost: a donation or $10 per box. No limit to the number of boxes supporters can have shredded. Social distancing rules will be in place.
Bayrock is forever helping others and recently played a leading role in his club’s servicing of 200 donated wheelchairs being sent to different charities or to needy overseas countries.
