DIEP Flap Surgery May No Longer Be Covered by Insurance A change in the coding for DIEP flap breast reconstruction surgery is about to go into effect, which would eliminate insurance coverage for the procedure.

Ridgewood celebrates at our post-holiday gathering:

Stopped by Brighton at Paramus Park on Saturday to pick up their $314 donation. Thank you BRIGHTON!!

Brighton in Paramus Park was nice enough to choose Tennis for Life as the organization they were willing to support during October (Breast Cancer Awareness Month). On Saturday at 1:00 we will be meeting with them so we can take some photos receive the donation.

Let’s give them a fantastic TFL THANK YOU! Please join us if you can Saturday 12/17 at the Brighton store in the Paramus Park Mall.

Our FIRST speaker in over 2 years was fantastic! On Sunday, members at TFL Ridgewood were able to visit with Tami Azouri, RN from Hackensack University Medical Center. She spoke about stress/management and then practiced a breathing technique, and shared a quick meditation.

Thank you Tami!

Good Evening All! TFL needs your help. We are looking for a location to hold a fundraiser. Please reach out to us if you know someone who is a member of a community organization that might have access to a hall. We're thinking about something like an Elk's Club or Knight of Columbus type of organization. Please reach out to Wendy, Andrea or Joyce if you think you might have a connection to any such organization.

A lovely day if tennis, pizza and fun. And of course, a pair of Lindas!
