Exciting Changes in 2026

To Our TextLess Live More Community,

This past year was full of growth and development for TextLess Live More, and we are excited to continue the good work in 2026. Thank you for your generous support that allows us to continue our mission to end distracted driving, empower healthy digital habits, and save lives. 

TLLM ACHIEVES 25% GROWTH! 

We are pleased to announce that 559 TextLess Live More events were held across the United States in 2025—a 25% growth in TextLess Live More events from the prior year! 

“This is our largest year-over-year increase ever, and we are truly grateful for everyone who helped us achieve this benchmark.” – Richard Levitan, Father of Merritt Levitan

We rely on your continued support, and there are many different ways to get involved in 2026:  

1. Join The Levitan Family in Warren, Vermont for the 2nd annual Live More Event in August. Watch the compelling video from this year below, where Vermont’s scenic beauty provides the perfect background for our mission to live more.
2. Participate in our 2026 Rodman Ride teams in Massachusetts, Montana, Virginia, and other states. Stay tuned for details. 
3. Share the TextLess Live More Mission with friends, family, and your community—anyone and everyone you know!

Dear Friends,

As 2025 comes to a close, the feeling most present in my mind is a sense of change:

Changes I have experienced in my life this past year, changes for my family and friends, and the profound changes within our society, country, and world. 

How does one contend with so many changes? 

It is challenging, and often overwhelming, especially as the world continues to rely on social media and transitions to a more digital reality. 

I believe the best way to stay grounded amongst the shifts in life is to throw yourself into a mission, a passion. Whether it be cooking, biking, skiing, painting, farming, or providing resources for youth in America to live better lives. A mission is vital to navigate today’s world. 

I am excited for TextLess Live More in 2026, for the positive growth and changes the new year will bring. 

What are you excited for in 2026? What changes can you make in the new year to continue moving forward in a positive direction? 

I challenge you to take a moment to reflect on the past year. The positive, the negative, the mundane…

Above all, I challenge you to Live More in 2026, to pursue your mission, whatever that may be, with passion and a renewed sense of belief. To take on the challenges with a steady mind and a sturdy stride. 

We will acknowledge the changes we are living through and will continue to live through in the new year. 
We will recognize the impact technology has and will continue to have on our lives.
We will take action to mediate the challenges this reality brings. 
We will pursue our goals in the new year with vigor and grace. 

I am grateful to be a part of this organization and look forward to all the positive changes in 2026.

Joe Levitan 
Director of Growth and Engagement
