Fore Chuck’s Sake is about giving our dad access to care that finally matches:

His diagnosis

His potential

His determination  

Funds raised will help send Chuck to Craig Hospital, one of the world’s leading spinal cord injury rehabilitation centers, where he can receive specialized treatment for severe nerve pain and intensive neurorehabilitation aimed at restoring function, independence, and quality of life.

Thank you for supporting our family — and for helping us make sure Chuck gets the care he deserves. 

 We are seeking support from our community to help fund specialized spinal cord injury treatment for our dad, Chuck Jacobsen.

Chuck sustained a complex, incomplete cervical spinal cord injury (C3, AIS-D). While he has worked relentlessly to recover — and can walk, drive, and even golf — he lives with constant, severe neuropathic pain and ongoing neurological limitations that significantly affect his quality of life.

To help him access the level of care his injury truly requires, we (daughters, Brittni & Shanay) are organizing Fore Chuck’s Sake, a community golf tournament to raise funds for advanced spinal cord injury rehabilitation at Craig Hospital in Englewood, Colorado.

All funds raised will directly support Chuck’s treatment at Craig Hospital.

Public healthcare and workers’ compensation systems are not designed to provide the intensive, highly specialized rehabilitation and neuropathic pain treatment required for complex spinal cord injuries like Chuck’s.

As a result, many of his most disabling symptoms — particularly chronic nerve pain — have gone insufficiently treated, despite his determination and continued effort.

This tournament exists because proper care shouldn’t be this hard to access.

Craig Hospital is one of the world’s leading spinal cord injury rehabilitation centers.

This isn’t general rehab — spinal cord injury is all they do.

🔹 Exclusive Focus on Spinal Cord Injury

Craig is not a general hospital. Every program, clinician, and therapy is built specifically for spinal cord injury recovery.

🔹 World-Renowned Expertise in Incomplete SCI (AIS-D)

Chuck’s injury is incomplete, meaning the spinal cord is damaged but not severed.

This type of injury has the greatest potential for functional improvement when treated aggressively and correctly — which is exactly what Craig specializes in.

🔹 Advanced Treatment of Neuropathic Pain

Chuck lives with constant, severe nerve pain — often described as a “sunburn-like” sensation — one of the most disabling consequences of spinal cord injury.

Craig Hospital is internationally recognized for treating neuropathic pain specific to spinal cord injury, not simply masking symptoms.

🔹 A Philosophy of Recovery, Not Decline

-Craig’s approach focuses on:

-Maximizing independence

-Reducing pain

Improving long-term quality of life

They do not assume inevitable deterioration.

🔹 Experience with High-Functioning, Highly Motivated Patients

Chuck may appear “functional” on the surface, but every movement costs him tremendous effort and pain. Craig specializes in patients who live in this gap — capable, but limited by neurological dysfunction.

Funds raised are not going toward vague or experimental care.

They support evidence-based, intensive treatment delivered by leaders in spinal cord injury medicine.

At Craig Hospital, Chuck would receive:

Specialized Neuropathic Pain Management

Evaluation by physicians who specialize in spinal cord injury–related pain

Optimization of medications specifically for neuropathic pain

Advanced strategies to calm the nervous system rather than overwhelm it

Pain management fully integrated into rehabilitation — not treated as an afterthought

Pain is currently the single greatest barrier to Chuck’s recovery.

Intensive Neurorehabilitation

High-intensity physical and occupational therapy designed for incomplete cervical SCI

Targeted retraining of:

Upper-limb strength and coordination

Fine motor skills

Gait, balance, and endurance

Therapy grounded in neuroplasticity — the nervous system’s ability to rewire, even years after injury

Integrated Orthopedic & Neurological Care

Coordination between spinal cord specialists and orthopedic experts

Protection of surgically repaired shoulders while rebuilding strength

Rehabilitation based on spinal cord biomechanics — not generic protocols

Whole-Person Rehabilitation

Education on pacing, nervous system regulation, and flare prevention

Psychological support focused on resilience and adaptation

Long-term planning to sustain gains after discharge
