Wright decided it was the ideal opportunity to raise funds for Sue Ryder Cancer Hospice. The hospice were very kind to Stephen’s father, who passed his last days there at the end of 2004, and he sees this as a chance to repay some of their kindness.

"The idea is to return to where I took the original nearly 20 years later to take photos of any fans that are interested and raise some money for a good cause that unfortunately is close to home."

It's an idea that's already worked for Wright, as he raised money for Alzheimer's Research doing the same thing last year, and the results were well worth the money. It seems there really is a light that never goes out... Stephen's flash!
