Using jquery, how can I reference a html table cell td from a checkbox inside the cell?

I have an html table:

  <table>
         <tr>
              <td>
                  <input type="checkbox" name="myCheck">
              </td>
         </tr>
  </table>

I want to change the backcolor of the table cell when i click on the checkbox. The table cell doesn't seem to be the parent of the checkbox.

What is the correct way to get a reference to the table cell on checkbox click?
