GROUP RAISING FUNDS FOR BONE MARROW TRANSPLANT

"Friends of Emily" - a group working to raise funds for a bone marrow transplant for 43-year-old Emily Naff - has set up an account for donations at the Roanoke Postal Employees Federal Credit Union (P.O. Box 12405, Roanoke, Va., 24025).

Naff, a network specialist with the U.S. Postal Service in Roanoke, was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1991. After treatment, her cancer was in remission until an inoperable tumor was found on her lung in February.

Naff is currently a patient at the Sloan Kettering treatment center in New York City.

The fund-raising group has established a goal of $100,000 - the estimated cost of the bone marrow procedure. To date, the group has raised $7,000.

The group has put together a cookbook that has been mailed to a publisher and will be available for sale in June.

For more information, call 985-8737.
