Jason Michael Carroll Does Some Good With New Music Video

Arista Nashville recording artist Jason Michael Carroll is delivering a hopeful message with his new hit song, "Hurry Home," now a music video depicting the storyline of a father anxiously awaiting word from his runaway daughter. In his childhood, Carroll's family endured a more than 15 year absence when his aunt was a runaway, and Carroll portrays a friend helping search for the missing girl in the video.

"I felt that if we were going to make a video for 'Hurry Home,' it was important to try to do something to help, even in a small way," Carroll says, "and that's why we chose to include information at the end of the video about the National Runaway Switchboard."

Citing statistics of between 1.6 and 2.8 million young runaways each year, the mission of the National Runaway Switchboard is to help keep America's runaway and at-risk youth safe and off the streets via educational programs and much more, including a 24-hour crisis line at 1-800-RUNAWAY.
