The campaign #InTheNipOfTime, has garnered support from celebrities like Mark Ruffalo, Matthew Perry and rugby player, Jim Hamilton. “By bringing a few blue to what seems to be a very pink world, we aim to get men paying more attention to their bodies when something might be wrong”, according to the website. He also posted a few pictures of fellow athletes.

Jackson also narrates an accompanying video for the campaign, which encourages men to feel their breasts for suspicious lumps.
