Most people tell David Leitch unequivocally that donating blood is a great thing for people to do. But while saying it is one thing, Leitch, manager of the Donor Group Recruitment Program at the Puget Sound Blood Center in Bellevue, Wash., quickly notes that for many people actually donating blood is a very different matter. "About 5 percent of the population donates blood," says Leitch. "People have myriad reasons not to donate. Our job is to make it as convenient as possible for volunteers to donate blood."
