Pace4Life is responding to this situation by undertaking a project that will see thousands of discarded pacemakers sent to needy individuals, using creative methods of delivering costly healthcare to impoverished countries. Instead of the wasteful practice of binning pacemakers, Pace4Life is seeking to establish a process whereby people/patients donate old pacemakers to Pace4Life to be tested, and either reused or recycled.

Peter may have lived a longer and healthier life had he benefited from having a pacemaker fitted before the tragic situation which led to him losing his life.
