Center text besides custom textbox

Question

I have a custom styled checkbox, see this JSFiddle:

My HTML looks like this:

<label class="checkbox">
  <input type="checkbox" />
  <span>Lorem ipsum</span>
</label>

Now I want my text to be vertically centered in relation to the checkbox, how can I achieve this?
