Kate Rice is a runner, ex-ski bum, java junkie, Green Bay Packer fan and a rock’n roll singer and stand-up comic who performs mostly in the shower and sometimes on stage. Her memoir, "Cured: Beating Stage 4 Cancer and the Culture That Caused It," is a raw and hilarious memoir about a newly divorced empty nester poised to start a whole new life--and then she gets a Stage 4 cancer diagnosis and four months to live. Rice was a prize-winning reporter and remains a change-maker who loves to throw parties. She’s an activist who has fought for many great causes and lost a lot--but not all--of them. She was part of a grass roots effort by a polyglot group of hardworking locals who fought an international mining company that moved into their rural corner of west central Wisconsin to mine sand for fracking, She's been a refugee advocate, recruiting volunteers to work with refugees, fundraising and loading up an SUV to deliver donated furniture to recently arrived families. . She's knocked on doors, made phone calls and delivered yard signs for political candidates in New York, Wisconsin, Montana and Utah. In an effort to shine a spotlight on rural America, she created the podcast, "Monroe County Matters: the Drama, Comedy and Joy of a Bellwether County." Rice grew up in a purple-to-red corner of the state of Wisconsin. Her family's American saga began when her great-great grandparents fled starvation and persecution in Ireland to come to America. Ann Rice and John Rice were married in St. Brigid's Church on Tompkins Square Park in New York City's East Village in 1853, and then followed the railroad to Wisconsin. Despite her incurable irreverence, Rice sincerely and intensely believes that it is both an honor and a responsibility to be an American. ​ She now lives in Park City, Utah, where she is a rock 'n' roll radio DJ and ski instructor.
