My name is Brittany Smith, I am eleven years old and I go to Saffron Walden County High school. I love sport and enjoy swimming because it is a great way to keep fit. My favourite sport is cricket! I play for Essex, Cambridgeshire and Saffron Walden Cricket Club. Some of my other interests include dancing, singing and acting.

I would like to swim at least two miles and the charity I will be supporting is the Multiple Sclerosis Society, because my grandpa suffers from MS and is disabled because of it. I hope that the money I raise by taking part in ‘The Big Swim’ will help with very important research into this disease to improve the lives of other sufferers.
