The NTV360 Ascent for ALS
A grueling 5-summit challenge to carry a heavy burden and raise hope for a cure.
In loving memory of Judith Ann Desmarais.
“On October 28th, 2017, our family lost its matriarch, Judith Ann Desmarais, after her courageous battle with ALS.
To the world, Judy was a force of nature, but to us, she was everything: a loving wife, a devoted mother, and the proudest grandmother to her eleven grandchildren, including myself. She built a fantastic family and was a beacon of light in all of our lives. Losing her has left an immeasurable void, but her strength and grace in the face of an impossible challenge inspired a promise: to fight back for her and for all families touched by this devastating disease. This climb is for Judy. Her memory is the fuel for every grueling step, and her fight is now our mission.” – Marc Muma

Powered by Community: NTV360’s Commitment
At NTV360, our mission has always been to connect our community and amplify the messages that matter. We help hundreds of local Denver businesses tell their stories on our indoor digital billboard network.
But our commitment goes beyond business. We believe in using our platform’s reach to give back and lift up the causes that affect our neighbors, colleagues, and friends. “The NTV360 Ascent for ALS” is an initiative born from the heart of one of our own, Marc, in honor of his grandmother. We are incredibly proud to stand behind him, providing corporate sponsorship and dedicating our network’s voice to raising awareness for the ALS Association.

Join Us at the Finish Line
Join us as we complete our summer-long challenge with a final, celebratory group ascent of the majestic Torreys Peak on Friday, August 29th!
The day begins at 5:30 AM at the trailhead, where you can hike alongside Marc and the NTV360 team to the 14,275-foot summit. We’ll capture the moment with a group photo at the top before descending together.
Important Note: The access road to the Torreys Peak trailhead (Stevens Gulch Road) is very rough and requires a high-clearance, 4WD vehicle. Please plan your transportation accordingly. Carpooling is highly encouraged.
We will wrap up the celebration on September 3rd at the Da Life Golf in Golden! Join us for some well-earned drinks and bites as we share stories from the summer and announce our final fundraising total with our incredible community of supporters.
Tickets to this unforgettable day are included in select sponsorship packages!
