About The Beyond Recovery Project
Our mission: to inspire and empower brain tumour survivors through their recovery and beyond.
Created by brain tumour survivor, Sara Crosland, The Beyond Recovery Project is about bringing together others on the same or similar journey, creating a ‘safe’ space and sense of community, where survivors can share experiences and discover how to push beyond the physical and psychological barriers they face together.
What We Do
Harnessing the often underestimated healing power of nature, many of our activities take place outdoors.

The North’s Biggest 24-Hour Trail Race
Running in a team, we have 24 hours to wrack up as many laps of the stunning 8km trail course as they can.
Made up of walkers, first-time fun runners and a few seasoned ultramarathoners, the only question that matters is how far will they go?
Running for Recovery – Iceland Crossing
-TBC SEPT 2026-
In September 2025, Sara, Founder of The Beyond Recovery Project, will be embarking on a journey that represents much more than a physical challenge—it’s a test of resilience, hope, and determination. She will be running from the north to the south coast of Iceland, a land known for its stunning landscapes and unpredictable weather. This endeavour is not just about covering the distance, but about proving that there is life after a brain tumour diagnosis and treatment.

What People Say
“Me and my 10 year old son spent a day in the forest with Sara and had an amazing day!
Davey loved den building but his favourite thing was the hammock!
Sara’s knowledge and patience was amazing… Exploring the forest and understanding where to look for signs of forest dwellers, we were in our element.
This goes down as one of our favourite days out this summer!
The best therapy is talking to someone who understands your fears, anxiety and your whole life changing…”
~Lisa
“I became aware of The Beyond Recovery Project at an Acoustic Neuroma support group, and subsequently put myself forward as a walk leader and have helped with one to date.
I had read about the more adventurous pursuits on the website and decided to enlist for the Morocco trek in November 2025.
I have recently returned from a first training weekend for the trek, where I met Sara and other participants for the first time.
The training was meticulously organised and the reception warm and welcoming. I found the experiences of others humbling and was inspired by how the The Beyond Recovery Project had helped them move to the next stage and the renewed confidence it had instilled.
A great organisation which I hope can continue to expand to help other brain injury sufferers.”
