Mr Fry showed his support for Dr Chand's cause by tweeting:
You CAN make a diff! Coalition Health Bill risks destroying NHS. Pls help stop it: sign this epetitionepetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/22670 #HealthBill #NHS
— Stephen Fry (@stephenfry) January 26, 2012
When Mr Fry tweeted about charity Elephant Family in 2010, promising to kiss the highest bidder online, he sparked thousands of pounds in donations.
Dr Chand’s (@KailashChandOBE) e-petiton has currently reached 37,872.
Former deputy prime minister John Prescott (@JohnPrescott) has pledged to post a video of him singing should it reach 50,000 signatures, half the number it needs be debated in the House of Commons (100,000).
