Cancer survivor Shane Callaghan has walked a harrowing 76.4 kilometres in jandals to raise funds for other cancer sufferers.

… View moreCancer survivor Shane Callaghan has walked a harrowing 76.4 kilometres in jandals to raise funds for other cancer sufferers.
The self-described Melahomi Jandal Strutter said his feet were "pretty shot" after the trek but it was a small price to pay to help those suffering from cancer.
One pair of jandals melted into his feet and turned them black as he took on the annual Relay for Life fundraiser over two days.
"My right big toe blistered up badly to the point that I had to cut the side of it open to release the pressure," the 56-year-old said.
"I had a few blisters on my feet. But it's nothing compared to cancer so I don't care about it," he said.
The Te Atatu Peninsula resident raised nearly $3000 for the Cancer Society walking the Jack Lovelock track in Mt Roskill for nine hours and Albany's AUT Millenium Stadium for another gruelling nine hours.
During his weekend quest, he met a young athlete who had lost the lower part of her leg to cancer at 13 and was training for the Tokyo Paralympics next year.
She joined Callaghan for a few laps around the North Shore stadium.
"She was such an inspiration and I enjoyed talking to her," he said.
"I hope she gets to Tokyo and does well. "
Callaghan was diagnosed with critical stage four cancer in 2017 and was given 15 per cent or less of surviving.
"But I refused to give up, " he said.
"Now against the odds after my last scan I'm cancer free."
Callaghan said he thought good healthcare and a positive attitude had helped him to beat the disease.
"I do joke about cancer a lot, probably too much, but I do, " he said.
"For me, I can't feel down or anything because it affects my family.
"Even I might have been going through a couple of hard times but no-one ever knew because I just kept joking around."
Callaghan said he faces surgery on Tuesday to have his appendix and a hernia removed, possibly side effects of the disease.
The Melahomi Jandal Strutter said he was grateful to his wife, family and friends for their support during his cancer journey.
