Team Justice!


Four guys from Manitoba, A 600 km bike challenge through the Rockies, and desire to seek justice for the oppressed Left to right: Mike “Cookie” Suderman, Corey Smith, Nathan Weselake, and Jo Breckman


The Ride to End Terror team is a unique mountain bike racing group committed to raising awareness and funds for International Justice Mission. The concept of The Ride to End Terror began in 2008 when Nathan Weselake and his good friend Corey Smith made the commitment to ride the 600 km transrockies challenge in August of that year. To assist them in training, bike maintenance, and on the road logistics they enlisted the assistance of good friends Mike Suderman and Jo Breckman. The group felt their work should be for a cause greater than four guys just having fun. Having been exposed to International Justice Mission in the past, Nathan knew this was a cause worth biking for. So he pitched the idea of using this ride to help end the terror and injustice of the modern day slavery epidemic. Together the team has made a commitment to raise $30 000 and for the work of IJM.
