"We recently learned about a very special group of grandmothers in Limpopo, South Africa who had an amazing dream. They wanted to come to America to compete in the United States Adult Soccer Association Veteran's Cup tournament in Massachusetts.
Vakhegula-Vakhegula means 'Grannies' in the local Xitsonga dialect. The team was founded by Beka Ntsanwisi, who is known as "Mother Theresa of Limpopo." Beka saw that the women needed exercise and fun to help them have healthier lives and got them playing soccer. Now known as the "Soccer Grannies," twice a week the women, ages 49 - 84, swap domestic chores for football, donning soccer boots instead of their usual rubber sandals to play in local matches.

At Herbalife, we pride ourselves on making dreams come true. As Mark said, "If you can dream it, you can do it." We realized we could help these women, who must overcome significant obstacles to play soccer and have a healthy life, achieve their dream. On Wednesday they will arrive in Boston. Herbalife made it possible.
This week they will wear Herbalife jerseys while Boston-area Distributors are sampling from an Herbalife-branded tent and our signage is on the fields. We'll receive recognition as the Grannies' sponsor at the games and in the press.They've already received quite a bit of worldwide press and we expect good news coverage this week. Our release is attached.
At Herbalife, everyone has a chance to reach their greatest potential. Yesterday, we were cheering on Spain with seven FC Barcelona players on the winning World Cup team and this week we're cheering on the Grannies. Everything is possible at Herbalife.
Go Grannies!
Michael and Des"
