Help Louis to get back on track - 'Make A Wish'

Hi, my name is Louis Fontaine and you might have heard my story on facebook (https://www.facebook.com/gavin.fontaine/posts/2311729622305388 ).
But I will tell you the story again. I went for a bike ride in Brighton, SA around lunch time on Tuesday the 12th January with my new bike. It is a very special bike for me as I got it for Christmas and saved all last year to pay half of it by collecting bottles, doing household chores, walking dogs and working in my Mum's food van. After a little while I had a break on a park bench next to Brighton Primary School to eat my lunch. My bike was leaning against the bench next to me. A man walked pass me and looked at me strangely, but I did not think much of it at the time and then around 2 minutes later a different man came up and grabbed my bike and rode off. I tried to stop him and shouted out loud to draw attention, but a 12-year-old kid trying to get a bike back from a grown up man has very little chance. Straight away I called the police to report this but they don't think we will have too much luck to find it.
The purpose of this go fund me page is not only to recover the money to be able to buy a new bike and to continue adventuring Adelaide’s amazing MTB tracks, I also want to donate any money exceeding the purchase price of my bike ($1000) to the “Make a Wish” Charity and can hopefully make another kid’s dream come true.
Thank you everyone for your thoughts, comments and support it means so much to me I appreciate each and everyone of you!
