Photo Credit: Marie Lombardo, photographer<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nTo help bring the message to life in a way that feels accessible, engaging and familiar, Joshua Jackson is joined by Gritty, the iconic mascot of the Philadelphia Flyers, to capture why it\u2019s so important to get body checked. The pairing draws a parallel between a well-timed body check on the ice and a timely check-in with a doctor\u2014both moments when taking action can make a meaningful difference.<\/p>\n<p>\nMohit Manrao, Senior Vice President, Head of US Oncology, AstraZeneca, said: \u201cBeating cancer takes a team\u2014and action saves lives. By teaming up with Joshua Jackson and Gritty, we\u2019re calling on fans to get informed and get screened. With an estimated 65% of Americans behind on recommended screenings<sup>1<\/sup> and cancer rates rising among people under 50,<sup>2<\/sup> now is the time to talk to your doctor about your risk and the screenings that are right for you. Don\u2019t wait\u2014get body checked.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nActor\/Producer Joshua Jackson said: \u201cPeople close to me have been diagnosed with cancer, and I\u2019m at an age where I should know my own risks. So, if you watched me when I was a kid and you were a kid, it\u2019s time to talk to your doctor about getting screened. Together with AstraZeneca and my good friend, Gritty, we don\u2019t want you to wait to talk to your doctor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nThe <i>Get Body Checked Against Cancer<\/i> campaign encourages people to take control of their health by talking with their doctors about their cancer risk factors and whether cancer screenings are right for them. The campaign supports Hockey Fights Cancer\u2122, a joint initiative of the National Hockey League (NHL) and the National Hockey League Players\u2019 Association (NHLPA) powered by the V Foundation for Cancer Research. Since 2023, AstraZeneca has proudly served as the first-ever official national partner of Hockey Fights Cancer.<\/p>\n<p>\nGritty, mascot of the Philadelphia Flyers, said: \u201cThere&#8217;s a lot of important checks out there\u2014poke checks, paychecks, rain checks\u2014but here\u2019s a reality check\u2026Get body checked. Checkmate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nTo date, AstraZeneca has donated $1.1 million to Hockey Fights Cancer through the V Foundation to help fund game-changing cancer research.<\/p>\n<p>\nFor more information about what screenings may be right for you, to find a screening provider near you and for a list of questions you and your loved ones can ask your doctor, visit <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.getbodychecked.com%2F&amp;esheet=54442905&amp;newsitemid=20260310693422&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Getbodychecked.com&amp;index=2&amp;md5=87a4fee1ecaa4b5d602c9cd98226cfce\">Getbodychecked.com<\/a>.
