Lining it up from her wheelchair, Addi Bales tosses up a shot in the lobby of the Gainesville Academy Sports + Outdoors. “Think fast,” the Lakeview Academy first-grader and cancer survivor said before passing the pink-and-white basketball to her mother Holly Bales. Addi, who was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in 2014, was given a customized basketball goal after the collaboration between the school’s Featherbone Communiversity students, the athletics store and Kona Ice of Greater Gainesville.
