Walkers old and young gathered Saturday at Ryon Park to participate in the Lompoc Hospital Foundation Walkathon to raise money for the Lompoc Valley Medical Center Building Fund.

The new hospital is scheduled to open in March. It is being constructed with voter-approved bonds, but the bond revenue cannot be used to buy furniture and equipment. The building fund will help fill that gap.
