National Transport Insurance (NTI) CEO Tony Clark will join an Everest Base Camp expedition next month to raise money for charity.

He is supporting motor neurone disease researcher the MND and Me Foundation, which has added meaning for the specialist truck insurer after former CEO Wayne Patterson was diagnosed with the condition in 2015.

“My contribution this year is to walk to Everest, with every cent that is raised going to [the foundation],” Mr Clark told insuranceNEWS.com.au.

He hopes to raise at least $8000, and supporters have so far chipped in more than $6000.

NTI also plans to restore another vintage truck to raffle next year for the foundation. It raised more than $55,000 last year through a similar project.

“That’s going to be an annual thing for us,” Mr Clark said. “As an organisation, we have decided to make that our cause.”
