He has been powerlifting for more than forty years so when Mick Ellender was diagnosed with prostate cancer, he thought his sporting days were over.

But Mick, who's 73, is back in the gym after being given the all clear.

The grandfather from Herne Bay is now training for the Powerlifting World Championships next month.
