A security guard, whose holiday request form made him a viral sensation, has decided to donate all the free stuff he was offered to charity.

During the week Greg Heaslip’s holiday request form was accidentally forwarded to thousands of his colleagues who work at retail giant Arcadia.

According to the Metro, shops soon started to search for him on Twitter with the hashtag “#givegregtheholiday” so that they could offer him free things including a trip to Las Vegas.

Since being identified and finding out what happened, Greg has decided to donate all the freebies to charity in memory of Stephen Sutton, the teenager who raised millions before he lost his battle to cancer earlier this month.

Speaking about it, Greg explained: “All I wanted was my two days off and now I’ve got them. I’m going to go to Chessington World of Adventures with my wife Edyta and our 20-month-old daughter.

“I don’t want any of the free stuff. I’m going to donate it all to the Stephen Sutton charity so it goes to a good cause”.
