Congratulations to everyone who helped raise money for the UK Casa Herbalife programme in association with the NCH Hackney Young Carers - the 15th Casa Herbalife programme to be established worldwide. A generous donation from Herbalife Family Foundation combined with fundraising efforts on behalf of both employees and Herbalife Independant Distributors has resulted in a grand total of £12,000!
The London Triathlon's Official Nutrition Sponsor, Herbalife, has established a Casa Herbalife programme as part of its Herbalife Family Foundation. The programme works with existing charitable organisations around the world to improve access to healthy and nutritious food for children and young people. In the UK, Herbalife Family Foundation has partnered with NCH, the children's charity, to create a Casa Herbalife programme, the Hackney Young Carers Healthy Eating Programme in East London.
There are more than 150 young carers in Hackney aged between 5 and 18 who, for a number of reasons, have become the primary carer for a member of their family or household and who live in poverty. The Casa Herbalife Programme will provide the skills and knowledge for young careers to eat and cook healthily, and the opportunity to enjoy a healthy meal in a social setting.
We really do need continued help with this project. The Hackney Young Carers Healthy Eating Programme, in association with Casa Herbalife, relies on the money that you raise. Without your help, the Hackney Young Carers Healthy Eating Programme may cease to exist.

Read our good luck messages below from celebrity supporters of NCH, the children's charity -
"Good luck for the London Triathlon, no pain, no gain! Hope you raise lots of money for NCH, the children's charity."
Nell McAndrew, model and TV personality
"I'd like to wish the Herbalife team the very best of luck in the London Triathlon. As a mum I understand how important it is to make sure children eat a healthy diet. So, I am pleased to support NCH and the Casa Herbalife programme to help young carers get balanced meals and learn how to prepare healthy food - it's a valuable skill for life."
Kym Marsh, actress and mum of two
“As a working mother with twins, my day is pretty hectic, but I can only imagine the challenges faced by young carers every day. It's sad to think that aswell as dealing with responsibilities way beyond their years, these children are often not getting access to balanced meals. I hope the Triathlon team are really successful in raising lots of money for NCH and the Casa Herbalife programme.”
Gabby Logan, TV sports presenter
