Press.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Davison serves as a Lance Corporal in the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers, so it is clear that the good cause is one that is close to their hearts.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;With Patrick in the army and if, God forbid, something ever happened to him, I would like the reassurance that someone would be there to help him,&quot; Ms Vardy stated.<\/p>\n<p>During their lengthy ride,
