I’m a person!  Let’s do away with phrases such as ‘age-appropriate.’ Age is a spirit not a number or a rule!”</p> <p>The aim of the march is to protest against living in “an anti-age society that is ashamed of age, where the media gives the message to lie about our age to get jobs and romance, to go back and not forward,” writes Brooker, the author of “The Viagra Diaries.”</p> <p>Participants will wear their real age number on either a button or on the front of their T-shirts. Brooker, 73, said she expects thousands of men and women to participate.</p> <p>“Aging isn’t about Botox. It’s a spirit. The fountain of youth is inside of us. Let’s show that we’re proud of our age and not ashamed of it,” writes Brooker.</p> <p>The one-mile walk will begin at Crissy Field across from Sports Basement, 610 Mason St., the Presidio, in San Francisco at 9 a.m. and the full event is scheduled to last for three hours.
