Ambassador Roy Ferguson of New Zealand spoke at a reception honoring participants in the Team Sarcoma Initiative in Washington, DC, on July 24, 2009. Learn more at http://www.team-sarcoma.net .

'When I heard that this sarcoma awareness week started in 2003 with 7 people in Louisiana, and this year will have 12,000 people in [14] countries, that's an amazing example of success. And I think it reflects the fact that this terrible disease knows no boundaries. And it really reflects a common humanity: it doesn't matter whether you live in the United States, New Zealand, Mexico or wherever you live, any of us could be subject to this disease.' - Ambassador Ferguson
