The following is a speech from The Huffington Post UK's Soapbox event.

Visit the Amy Winehouse Foundation website for further information.

My name is Mitch Winehouse...I am the father of Amy Winehouse.

I am going to be speaking about turning grief into positive action.

I was in New York on 23 July when I got the devastating news that my darling daughter Amy had passed away. I had no immediate feelings of grief...that was to come later...I believe that a thought had been put in my head by Amy herself, foundation, foundation, children, music, horses.

We have recently met two remarkable women, Maryon Stewart and Vicky Unwin, who both lost their daughters after they took so-called party drugs and legal highs. These two women have set up the Angelus Foundation to bring awareness to the dangers of these drugs and have successfully managed to campaign to get some of these lethal substances re-classified as illegal.

We hope to help them in their campaign.

Very wise. How about protecting people from the dangerous lethal substance that killed his daughter?
