What Causes Leukemia?

In conclusion, to my project, I am very glad that I did blood as my project, for fun and personal reasons. Also, before I studied blood, I honestly had no idea what blood was, except when you bleed blood comes out of your skin, and there are red blood cells and white blood cells. Also, I wanted to learn more about blood cancer and leukemia.
