     The Brains, Brawn & Bravery Motorcycle Event came about as a mission of love and a way to celebrate the life of my brother...Lt. Chuck Margiotta.  As you all know by now, we accomplished what we set out to do...which was to raise money for scholarships, share stories, have fun, pay tribute to Chuck's personality and highlight one of Chuck's many passions...motorcycles!  
                                                                                                                                  
     Determined to make sure nobody forgets the events which took Chuck from us, others showed their passion by requesting permission to document the Brains, Brawn & Bravery Event as well as informing others about Chuck's life and ultimate sacrifice.  The end result of their efforts is a beautiful, sensitive and powerful tribute to Chuck.  There are no words that can express the deep gratitude I have for those responsible for this video tribute.
    
     My cousin Cynthia Neilson, along with Colleen "CC" Curtis and Jim Stelluto, traveled to Staten Island, New York, from Tennessee at their own expense to create this video tribute.  Over a two day period, they filmed at Ground Zero, Engine 165 / Ladder 85, and other significant Staten Island locations.  Cynthia and her crew did interviews with Chuck's friends and family and others attending the BBB Motorcycle Event.  They then strapped on cameras, hopped on motorcycles, and videotaped our first Biker Run.  Cynthia, "CC" and Jim, made the event a very personal and intimate project.      
     Many who attended the BBB Motorcycle Event, did not know Chuck.  My hope is that this video will help you understand how Chuck touched the lives of so many.  For those of you who could not make the event, my hope is that this video inspires you to join us in the coming years.
