For more than 20 years, the Sumter chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness has held a candlelight vigil to support people with mental illness and those who care for them. On Friday, more than 60 people participated in the annual ceremony at Birnie HOPE Center, 210 S. Purdy St. Local NAMI Sumter President Fred Harmon welcomed guests to the ceremony. He expressed his gratitude to Sumter County Council for passing a resolution declaring Oct. 6-13 Mental Health Awareness Week. Harmon told the attendees it is important to keep working for improved conditions for the mentally ill. “We need to fight the stigma. We need to fight for health care,” he said. A musical interlude was provided by Kipper Ackerman, who played a soothing selection on the harp. Ackerman has been involved in sup- porting mental health causes and often plays her harp for patients in hospice care. Former state Sen. Phil Leventis, the keynote speaker, told the moving story of a young man Attendees hold lit candles during the ceremony. named Pete who excelled at The Citadel but was forced out by mental health issues.
